wateroftyne Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 The only thing that could top some of these is if someone like, I dunno, Charlie Drake made a record with Peter Gabriel, Sandy Denny, Robert Fripp, Phil Collins, Percy Jones and Keith Tippett. Oh, wait... 1 1 2 Quote

It may have seemed like a bit of innocent fun but ultimately, this collaboration resulted in Limp Bizkit. Oh no! For me it was more positive, I branched out from my metal cul-de-sac to discover hip hop and then the power in funk, soul, reggae, jazz etc. Quote

Yes, Limp Biscuit is a pity but for many the Rock/rap collaborations were a gateway into another form of music. Quote

However I suspect that there were a bunch of female singers from within the Bad Seeds circle who could have performed it as well, and that the Kylie thing was done purely because it was unexpected. 1 Quote

As well as Limp Bizkit there were other atrocities like Crazy Town and Trapt and Puddle of Mud. Quote

I think Cave was a friend of Michael Hutchins (INXS) and persuaded him to speak to Kylie about it. I believe he wrote it with Kylie in mind. Edited June 20, 2021 by tegs07 2 Quote

TheGreek Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 How has nobody mentioned Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Cabelle doing "Barcelona"? I know we've accepted it now but one of the top rock stars of the day doing opera...?? Scandalous!! 1 Quote

SteveXFR Posted June 21, 2021 Author Posted June 21, 2021 Chilli and chocolate is a pretty standard combination. I'd love to try it in ice cream Quote

Grahambythesea Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 When Alison Krause got together with Robert Plant, I thought that was an odd combination. I think T Bone Burnett’s production and the backing musicians made it odder still. I love AK’ s work with Union Station, but the collaboration left me thinking why?? Quote
TheGreek Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 I bought that album - I think I've listened to it twice Quote

Quite a difference to Steve's previous musical collaboration with Chas and Dave: The Utopia Strong are great live. I saw them at a small independent cinema/music venue, so there were seats. Sitting there letting the semi-improvised music wash over you was fantastic. Steve and Kavus have also written a book about their favourite music called "Medical Grade Music". It's unexpectedly amusing. 1 Quote
SteveXFR Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 When I hear Robert Plant had a new band and they were playing in town I got really excited. Then I listened to a couple songs and didn't bother going. Quote
