Awesome Musical Collaborations That Only Exist in My Head
Divine Comedy and XTCThe Jackson Five and Phish
Pink Floyd (w/ Roger Waters) and Red House Painters
Ben Folds and Burt Bachrach
What say you?

Divine Comedy and XTC for obvious uber-pop reasons. I'll bet that together they could create a song so catchy it would cure cancer.
In my head I can see the Jacksons in their bell-bottom-and-'fro early years trying to improvise a dance routine at the same time Phish improvises musically.
Pink Floyd and Red House Painters would create a song beautiful and dementedly sad enough to make Chuck Norris weep openly.
I'm on a Ben Folds kick lately. But I once heard him covering "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" live and it was very cool. Got me to thinking about how much they have in common.
Now, I realize a good collaboration doesn't necessarily imply striking commonalities. I was hoping that you, dear readers, would give me some other ideas...

I am not a big christian music person, but I have always liked Caedmon's Call. I especially like the girl/guy trade off in singing. So I would like to see that on a superstar level with Dave Matthews and Jewel.
Waylon Jennings and Neil Diamond.
Oh, that one did happen. I just repressed it so far that I had forgotten about it.
Seriously:
Billy Joel and Spoon
Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon, & Ben Gibbard
Bruce Springsteen & Rufus Wainwright
