Unpopular opinion: music collaborations suck.


Sure there's the odd good song, but mostly it's an artist trying to get more recognition from fans of other artists. Maybe it's the rocker in me because it's rare in rock, but why would an artist want some other artist to come in and add their own style to a track? I listen to Led Zeppelin because I want to listen to Led Zeppelin, I wouldn't want Gene Simmons coming in shittening up the song.

Any combination from the following groups: -
Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Asia, Roxy Music

They've all done stuff together (I'm sure there's loads I've missed).

i guess i don't understand the distinction between bands composed of already established members and collaborations.

reply

Those were supergroups. They were individual bands. I'm talking things like Kanye West ft. Nicki Minaj.
