I think it's good to join them together and hear the best..well some of them are good but others are blah. I haven't heard the Metallica and Ja Rule one..I don't really like Ja Rule though..so yeah  . |

I know of one: Metallica & Ja-Rule ("We Did It Again").
I hated that song.... still hate it. |

First came the Grey Album, and that was a surprisingly listenable bit of experimentation, if not something I'd pay for. But then we got the Double Black Album, the Black and Blue Album, and finally (my personal favourite of these awful ideas) the Slack Album. ENOUGH ALREADY!
In any case, there's good genre-mixing and bad. Most of the time it's good if the genre-blending seems natural and unforced (see: the shoegaze-gospel-rock of Spiritualized, Miles Davis' jazz-rock fusion, the dancefloor electropunk of Out Hud and !!!, Blur's blending of britpop with all sorts of stuff, and at least half of Bjork's albums), and bad when it's self-conscious and contrived (see: every angry rap-rock artist like Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Methods of Mayhem [anyone remember Tommy Lee's little abortion?], Project Wyze, etc, each more derivative and banal than the last; also collaborations that should just never have happened like Eminem and Elton John, Nelly & Tim McGraw, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, Aerosmith with anyone at all, etc). |

Jay Zeezer, Jay-Z and Weezer, mixed by some dude. It sounds cool. |

I was talking about the ones that both know. But I do like the Snoop Dogg/The Doors thing. The doors didn't know (obviously) but it was awesome. |

Do you mean ones where the artist knows about it (Say like Aerosmith vs Run DMC) or ones where they don't (Look at www.gybo.org for more on that.. or opf course there's always DJ Dangermouse's Grey ALbum (The Beatles vs Jay Z).
Me? I love it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's like a lottery I guess. That said some tracks I love
(My fave Boots are Nirvana vs Destiny's Child, Sona Fariq vs Missy Elliot, JLo Vs Tenacious D and Rob Dougan vs S Club 7) |

Anyone notice this whole thing where Music Genres are joining together for some song? Nelly(R&B) and Tim McGraw(Country) joined together for a song called "Over and Over" There are others, that was just an example. What does everyone think of this stuff? Is it good? Bad? |
