    Prog/proggish Collaborations that work and those that do not

    Joint efforts including one-time supergroups & concept works.

    Neuronium & Vangelis - no

    Pappas & Vangelis - yes

    Arthur Brown & Vincent Crane -yes

    Fripp -Exposure - no

    " I Advance Masked" -yes

    The Best was a truly horrible idea and the result was embarrassing! (my opinion of course)

    Nice thread! Here I go...

    Ron Geesin & Pink Floyd: yes, but Ron Geesin & Roger Waters: no
    Jon Anderson & Vangelis: yes; Jon Anderson & Kitaro: yes; Anderson & Wakeman: yes
    GTR: yes (many, including themselves, would disagree though); Squackett: absolutely yes!; Conspiracy (Squire & Sherwood): no
    Greg Lake & Gary Moore: yes; Asia & Greg Lake: yes (but obviously they were not happy themselves)
    Frank Zappa & John Lennon: NOOOO!!!

    Queen & Adam Lambert: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (maybe the worst collaboration of all time IMO)

    Neil Young & Booker T & The MGs Yes, a strange combo. I have a live Toronto tape. As I seem to recall, sounds like Young with organ.

    .................
    Holdsworth & pianist Gordon Beck two lps. The first was a major disappointment for me since its not his usual rockfusion, but jazzbo

    Holdsworth also did "Heavy Machinery" with the two Johanssons.
