Sometimes a combination of artists comes along and makes you think "WTF, I have to hear this", even if it isn't particularly good. I Can't Get Behind That!: William Shatner/Henry Rollins/Adrian Belew/Ben Folds. Shatner and Rollins co-rant about things they don't like while King Crimson's Belew squeals on the guitar and Ben Folds produces. It's bizarre and great. If you have Spotify look up Henry Rollins' spoken word album "Talk is Cheap, Vol. 4" where the last track is him talking about the story behind the song. It was apparently very randomly put together. Judgment Night soundtrack: The whole soundtrack is a collaboration between alternative/metal bands and rap artists. It doesn't always work but the pairings are sometimes hilarious. Helmet/House of Pain, Sonic Youth/Cypress Hill, Mudhoney/Sir Mix-A-Lot, etc. Spawn soundtrack: Similar to Judgment Night, the Spawn movie paired metal and electronic artists like Orbital/Metallica, Prodigy/Rage Against the Machine, Slayer/Atari Teenage Riot, etc. Again, it doesn't always work, but it's interesting. Filter/Crystal Method actually got a pretty big hit song out of this one. Fix: Blackstreet/Slash/ODB/Fishbone. The "No Diggity" R&B crooners somehow put together a song with Slash of Guns N' Roses on guitar, hard funk band Fishbone, and ODB rapping. I don't even know that I even like the song so much as appreciating the absolute nutso mashup of styles.

Psyence Fiction by U.N.K.L.E. I was kid going up in the Bronx in the early 80s and listened to a lot of old school rap and loved listening to dj remixes of songs. As I got into high school I drifted into heavy metal and then industrial and then brit pop. To find a record that had elements of all of that blew my mind. Kool G Rap with samples from Star Wars and Frank Zappa! Ian Brown from the Stone Roses. Mike D. Jason Newstead. Boba Fett. Thom Yorke. Richard Ashcroft. DJ Shadow. I mean it's not a perfect album but it just touches on so many things from my life it's eerie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5rVw2SEqwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdQycB5I6C4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr-I25491XY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG0Q2hEPAz4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wGbyoda-9c <-Atoms for Peace doing a version of Rabbit in Your Headlights because I forgot that Thom York was in a band with Flea and I suppose fits the spirit of the thread.

One that's not entirely insane due to the music David Bowie was putting out in the 90s, but his collaboration with Nine Inch Nails was a thing to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJIJzmcc4MY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7_Te7iDojA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X6KF1IkkIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8rxWlUF3Eg

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant did an album with American bluegrass legend Alison Krauss. They also did a show covering Zep tunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnNNorl5yKE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y9LJxJLoyU A collaboration between Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta) and Damo Suzuki (Can). It's just super cool to have two legends from different generations of experimental rock music on one recording. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YE_QibMs1g I like Lulu, and think the stylistic clash between Lou Reed and Metallica is actually pretty damned interesting. But there was no way anyone, least of all Metallica fans, was going to be completely satisfied by this.

Chick Corea has an album I like a lot, where he collaborates with banjo player Béla Fleck.

Your user name reminded me of an insane music collaboration that never happened. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jimi-hendrix-sought-paul-mccartney-for-supergroup-with-miles-davis-20130510 Oh and of course, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADbJLo4x-tk RoyKeen has a new favorite as of 18:19 on Oct 4, 2016 |

From Neil Young's movie Human Highway, here's him with... Devo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6hqrK_u9Ek The full performance is on Dailymotion, I think, but in awful quality. I hope everyone knows about this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xnax0u03Ew Personally when it comes to Nick Cave I'm partial to his cover of Disco 2000 (and I'm frankly not sure if this is even a collaboration or just a straight cover, but they're credited as a unit, so...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIaxXXqTIFU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdpVM4hlTGk Say what you will about the quality of this song, but the fact that it exists is kind of really odd.

I wouldn't call it insane because Run-DMC were always into guitars but this song always gets the party bouncing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk

Banks & Steelz (Paul Banks of Interpol & The RZA) released their debut album a couple months ago. It's a weird mix but it works somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtf5isao73E

LORD OF BOOTY posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdpVM4hlTGk Eh, Skrillex has done a bunch of hip-hop stuff. I know he had a song with ASAP Rocky that I can't remember right now. In the spirit of this thread, here's Luciano Pavarotti singing heavy metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b66If6wFI0
