I have noticed that over the last few years that Ian Anderson and Marc Almond have become quite good friends and have appeared together on a number of occasions, especially at Christmas concerts and also here below in June 2013.


These two seem diametrically opposed when it comes to music but they appear to respect each others outputs.

I recall Robert's Fripp's collaboration with Daryl Hall and how Fripp very much admired Hall's vocal ability.

I'd be interested to know what other non-prog artists have teamed up with prog artists?

Please discuss.

I think Dagmar Krause did guest vocals for Paul Young. I think it was on the album No Parlez ??

The first example that springs to mind is Richie Havens and Randy Crawford guesting on Steve Hackett's 'Please Don't Touch' in 1978

Peter Hammill and Andy Bell of Erasure - Fall of the house of Usher.

Rock opera!?

Rick Wakeman played on Black Sabbath's song Sabbra Cadabra from the album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. He was reported to have been paid with a case of beer.

At that mention of Marc Almond earlier, his Soft Cell band mate Dave Ball has collaborated with Faust.

Ray Wilson of Genesis fame working together with dutch trance producer Armin van Buuren springs to mind.
 
Also, since they are on this website, the collaboration of Black Sabbath and Ice-T and Ernie C.
 
Also of course Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Cabbalé (do I spell it right?)

How did that work out?   I like Hammill, Erasure and Poe.  Was the sum greater than it's parts?

Robert Wyatt's voice appears on a song of one of my all-time favourite (though hardly well known) artists Barbara Morgenstern:

In the 90s I was curious whether there is really good techno music, so I bought an album with Robert Fripp on it:

Success: so-so. (This track is not bad but the best of the album.)

In the early 80s Jaki Liebezeit contributed to some German new wave hit singles by Joachim Witt:

The drums, ah the drums! He did quite something to this song, don't you think? (Of course it's not your typical hyperenergetic prog drummer but something very different and unique.)

what I've heard of Mark Almond, and album called "Tenement Symphony", while obviously not prog, is pretty good music

There was plenty of good techn in the 80's IMO, and hard house and ambient.

Fripp also collaborated with The Orb and The future sound of London. He knows progressive music when he hears it!

Talk Talk's Webb and Harris back Portishead's Beth Gibbons. This is really quite late-phase-Talk-Talkish.

Speaking of good Techno, here are more cool Can-member collaborations. Arguably these are prog enough to not count as prog-non prog collaborations, but the collaborators are not listed on PA, so technically they qualify.
