Me and the girl I’m gonna bring. It’ll be a sweet compilation resulting in the release of a climactic 7″
Even though their romantic relationship ended in 1980, Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox went on to create many hits in the 80′s as Eurythmics. Would I lie to you?
Bobby and Whitney, Sonny and Cher, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Inez and Charlie Foxx, Peaches and Herb, Etta and Harvey
John and Yoko – Double Fantasy.
That album is really beautiful and Yoko is way underrated (and she actually didn’t break up the Beatles). I realize no one is going to agree with me.
ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong does porgy loves bess
Jeff Tweedy and Feist – You & I
THE best musical collaboration made by a couple has got to be Paul & Linda McCartney’s 1971 album ‘Ram’. Not only has it gone platinum, but it spawned the hit song “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey”, Paul’s first song to hit #1 on the charts since he left The Beatles. This was an important album, and better yet, one built with love… and maybe just the smallest bit of hate towards a former bandmate. Haha.
Ram On, I say!
Win Butler & Régine Chassagne (Arcade Fire)!!!!
Jawbox: Kim Coletta and J. Robbins followed a decade later by (oh snap!) Kim Coletta and Bill Barbot. For an awesomely uptight DC band that counts as high drama.
It’s got to be Elton John and Miss Piggy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OX2WErOvD4
Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash singing Girl From the North Country
robert johnson and the devil!!!
Joanna Newsom and Andy Samberg… i mean, they are (or were?) dating, so that’s a collabo (in bed). also there is potential for spawn (they’d be the goofiest kids), or a harp-accompanied-comedy tour?
LINDSAY LOAHN + COCAINE = TRU LUVVV!
Matthew Barney & Bjork. Drawing Restraint 9
or
Michael Cera & Charlyne Yi. Paperheart
or
J Mascis & Del. Judgement Night soundtrack. i’m certain there was a pre-existing love connection.
Now gimme!
Great job everyone! Winners have officially been notified.
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I need to get by……among other greats
Aerosmith and Run DMC- I mean they are just trying to record next door and the these black guys are all loud and stuff but then Aerosmith learn a lesson about race (yes they forget it almost instantly but for like 43 seconds famous white musicians and famous black musicians are friends in the 80′s.)
don’t know if it’s too late, but how about ella & louis? dancing cheek to cheek…

M.I.A. and Diplo. A relationship that was stuck in everyone’s head for like 4 months straight.
