If you could wave a magic wand and make any two or more living and active musicians/bands collaborate, who would they be?

Asking because it just occurred to me that a Matmos/Stereolab team up might make my head explode if that ever somehow happened

Missy Elliot and Nurse With Wound

Oooooh!

This could be awesome

Ryoichi Endo it is about 30 years overdue for you to actually record a song with Buck-Tick

(Raymond I mention that because there was a time when Stapleton actually teased that idea in an interview or two)

Si Begg and Dua Lipa

Junior Boys and Eddie Chacon

Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Jim O'Rourke

Wesley Willis is sadly no longer with us and Like A Tim is no longer active, but that would have been my answer 25 years ago.

Years ago I stuck SunnO))) and Scott Walker next to each other on a mixtape and thought it would be amazing if they collabed. A year later my prayers were answered

Sault and Makaya McCraven
Moses Sumney and Jamie xx
Wibury Family Reunion with Dylan, Lynn, Andy Fairweather Low, Charley Crockett, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt---occasional guests Big Thief, Valerie June, SG Goodman, with Elton, Brandi, and the twins,

Also Ringo, if he'd do it.

Hiroshi Yoshimura and Joao Gilbert

The one I've been saying for years is Taylor Swift and Mutt Lange. The closest she's come was her collaboration with Def Leppard. I don't even know if Lange is still producing, but I would love to hear it.

andrew bird and vini reilly.

Cassandra Jenkins and Paul Buchanan.

Molly & Alec from Alvvays had that Miley Cyrus co-write recently, but I'm not really a Miley fan. I'd love to hear what they'd do with somebody like Chappell Roan, though.

Always thought I'd like to hear Bryan Ferry singing over Autechre but that's absurd. I love doing a Ferry-style improvisation over their 90s tracks sometimes though

jonny greenwood and anybody who has no time for jonny greenwood's bullshit and will make his life hell until he cuts it the fuck out

Alan Sparhawk and a female vocalist who he can harmonise with. Emily Cross of Loma would be perfect.

Abba and The KLF

PJ Harvey fronting Dinosaur Jr.

Maybe only doing Neil Young covers

I once had a dream that I was engineering a recording session with Cecil Taylor, guitarist Mick Barr (Orthrelm, Krallice) and a drummer I can't remember now. Oh, well.

As far as current living acts, Kamasi Washington playing with Earthless could be the wankiest thing ever, but it could also rule.

Thom Yorke fronting Bachman–Turner Overdrive

Thom Yorke fronting Bachman–Turner Overdrive

A new David Sylvian album produced by Sean O'Hagan.
