top 10 unlikely band combinations

Who hasn't wondered what NickelBackstreet Boys would sound like? I got the idea and some of the band names from NME e-zine. Some of the titles are original to me, all of the captions are. Feel free to submit some more.

1. Celine Dio: Francophone pop goddess and Lucifer are BFF now.

2. Tenacious D'Angelo: So-called "R&B Jesus" joins Wonderboy and Young Nastyman to form a band the likes of which have never been seen.

3. Marilyn Hanson: Well, they both look like females. With that in common I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some middle ground between their respective musical styles.

4. Simon & Gwarfunkle: I think we all knew that sooner or later, the duo who gave us "Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" would collaborate with the guys who brought us "Vlad the Impaler" and "Stalin's Organs."

5. BB King Crimson: What happened when the grandaddy of blues guitar accidentally ate the LSD brownies.

6. Megadeth Cab For Cutie: Indie pop-rockers get really, really angry.

7. Bob Dylanger Escape Plan: Snooty mathcore rockers take on social issues and poetic refinement.

8. Godspeed You Black Sabbath: Post-rock rockers explore their darker, more satanic side.

9. Michael Jackson Browne: singer/songwriter puts down his guitar and busts out the moves.

10. Fallout Boy George: As if Pete Wentz didn't wear enough makeup already.

Runners-up:
Barry Whitesnake
Rollins Band of Gypsys
R.E.M. People

I was really hoping for a comment on Barry Whitesnake.

Nice list. Tenacious D'Angelo was my favorite. How is your music making these days? Keeping it real?

Holiday cheer,

Howabout Clay "Disturbed" Akin. I think some people already call him that. I couldn't think of a clever way to fit the names together, but I just think it would be funny if the guys from Disturbed were gay and worshiped satan.

"BB King Crimson: What happened when the grandaddy of blues guitar accidentally ate the LSD brownies."

Any weirder than reported in the liner notes of "A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson", a live performance of King Crimson with Donovan singing lead vocal on Wilbur Harrison's song "Kansas City".
