Prince & Peter Gabriel?

2 burned out rock stars.

Perhaps the question could be who would have been a good collaboration?

You think Prince and Peter Gabriel couldn't come up with something interesting, even if they just dipped into their archive of recordings?

I have a huge respect for both Prince and Peter Gabriel,

What they have achieved in the past is amazing.

Maybe Kate Bush would be a good Prince collaboration?

Maybe not, since you can't hear her voice in the mix on My Computer.

Or maybe Madonna once again, to stir up some controversy, and excitement again.

Or Björk, could be interesting. Her voice is fantastic..

Not the young generation of artists - I prefer someone from the older / about the same age as Prince.

I don't get Prince's tendency to only collaborate with female artists. I'd like to see him work with some men....and not Stevie Wonder or George Clinton.

why not Elton John or George Michael then..?

Madonna on one side, Janet on the other side

I would like to see a Prince and Pharrell Williams collaboration as well as a George Michael.

Pharrell would bring out the oldschool, raw funky Prince while George would give Prince a strong vocalist to work with.

I would go with Iggy Pop or Trent Reznor...Julian Cope

but better with soul/jazzful artists:

Al Jarreau

Shirley Jones and Dub Kings

Herbie Hancock

Pharell

Andr´e 3000

Cindy Lauper

Jamie Cullum

Buble

Helge Schneider

William Shatner

(some of em he missed, like Sly Stone, Ray Charles,Belafonte,Al Green, Lou Rawls, Amy Winehouse (studio)), Sinatra

I'd love a duet with

I'm serious!!!

He already did Herbie Hancock in a way when he remixed Ana Moura ^^

David Bowie

Antony & the Johnsons

John Legend or Pink would be awesome. All very talented ppl.

Was that definitely him doing the Ana Moura track?

Marit Larsen

Thomas Dolby

I was thinking of this the other day and scrolling through my iPod, I made a list of artists I'd love to see Prince collab with (not that any of these would ever happen... Or could even happen in some cases)

David Bowie

Frank Ocean

Todd Rundgren

Shuggie Otis

Little Richard (This would be the funnest, campiest song ever created, with some crazy piano vs guitar sections as Prince and Little Richard brag and boast against each other... So a good version of the Latest Fashion )

John Lennon (I just imagine this would be interesting to listen to)

Ariel Pink

MGMT (I'm pretty sure I read an interview a few years back where they said their dream collab would be with Prince... And some of their songs like Electric Feel and Boogie Down sound Princely to me so it would be a cool combo)

D'Angelo

Dave Grohl

He's got my vote.

.

Mine, too, and Dave would definitely be on board since he's a huge fan.

As far as we know, yes.

Exactly! And Prince did a little Foo Fighters during the Superbowl halftime show. They should do lunch.

I know, I was so stoked when he started doing their song. I'm sure you've heard FF do Darling Nikki and heard Dave's story about playing with Prince, right?

YES. Dave is (imo) the closest to Prince's talent. After Kurt died, Dave recorded an album and played all the instruments (except a small guitar part on "X-Static) and did the vocals which became the FF first album (he also sang/played all the instruments on "Pocketwatch" in 1991) , like Prince did with "Prince". That's a special kind of genius in my book.
