Best musical Collaborations

[Otta]

In all seriousness, aged 7 in 1985 that was pretty much the first time these two had appeared on my radar.

And much as I like lots of Stones, and some Bowie numbers, I basically haven't been able to like either of them ever, because the 7 year old me found this video disturbing.

I think I already knew about Bowie from the Now Thats What I Call Music LPs! But I was a bit too young to appreciate how embarrassing that song really is.

[El Pibe]

it's genuinely difficult to watch.

I guess Ashes to Ashes was my first exposure to him and loved it, that (and tin machine) made my attitudes somewhat ambivalent

posted this up on fb recently

utterly improbable collaboration of Tom Jones, Leslie Rankin (of silverfish 'fame') and Mark Walk from Skinny Puppy!!

always worth a read in it's own right, but the entry on DITS is very good

As in you liked or disliked Tin Machine? I think the first album is actually rather good... maybe even a "must listen" for aspiring rock guitarists..

[StraferJack]

Tin Machine has become a lazy shorthand for "disastrous rock star moves" and whilst I wouldn't try and convince anyone of them being great, there is plenty to like on there if you are so minded

Plus it banished his yuppy 80s persona to the dustbin and for that alone, I'm grateful

I thought it was pretty obvious at the time that the whole DITS thing was a hastily put together pi$$ take, and just as hastily forgiven as it was for charidee. Perhaps a cue for Ot's next musically inspired thread...are there any critically acclaimed charidee records out there?...

[El Pibe]

I can't say as i know their whole output, I just remeber them coming on, whatever it was, the tube? and expecting something I'm not sure what, but not that 'oh my, boring aor'

I am now spotifying them to see if i have done them a disservice.

[Jeremy]

As SJ says... it's not a classic, but it is not poor by any means. There is some interesting (but not wanky) guitar stuff on there.

[El Pibe]

well it's better than i recall, though it appeals to me more tha it would the old me.

But neither is it necessarily something i'd put on again ;)

[Jah Lush]

I was lucky enough to go to one of the five nights Jeff Beck played at Ronnie Scott's. This is just one of highlights of one of those nights.

Status Quo and the Beach Boys!!!!!! Sorry, Otta, not a "best" collaboration, but the WORST EVER

(Jeeeeesus, even I drew the line at that one)

[El Pibe]

has anyone *not* collaborated with Brian Eno?!?!

Anyway, a magical collaboration!!

True, but the My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts album was an early one from '81 and was quite pioneering and influential in the case of sampling, found sounds and electronics etc etc, blah blah blah.

Bowie & Iggy Pop have worked together a lot - Low, The Idiot, Lust For Life and on Blah Blah Blah.

Here's a live one with Bowie on keys and cigarettes.

 

[El Pibe]

should have had a smiley, sorry.

[Jah Lush]

I'm not keen on them.

[FJDGoose]

;)

 

[Parkdrive]

[Parkdrive]
