So I randomly chose 8 prog songs from my personal song list and 8 non-prog songs. I numbered them 1-16 and then used a random number generator to assign pairs. 
This is the result.
Which do you think of all these pairings would work the best for a collaboration? 
And what prog and non-prog bands/musicians do you think would be great working together?

(Number 4 gave me a good laugh, but the cosmic number generator must have chosen it for a reason LOL)

For me, it would be PFM and The Who, though I think the Who are quite proggy.

Tim Smith has always said that Cardiacs are pop music, so were he still alive and on top of his powers, he'd probably be open for making this collaboration happen. Not so sure about Madonna though.

I can see Moody Blues and TFF clicking on sophisticated melodic music; PFM and Who may have potential as well.

Vote goes to Moody Blues & Tears For Fears.

Caravan & Carpenters is the one that would most likely come up one after the other had I put my iPod on shuffle. Those would work well playing off each-other to my ears.

While not randomly thought of, Mellow Candle and ABBA is a combo that works for me. And Linda Perhacs (if considered prog folk) and Nick Drake, or Robert Wyatt and Nick Drake, or Vashti Bunyan (if considered prog folk) and Nick Drake, or certain Comus and Nick Drake etc works for me.

I struggle to think of what Cheap Trick and Mahavishnu Orchestra would sound like together.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Beach Boys singing wordless vocal choirs on Focus instrumentals would sound great.

Big fan of the Moody Blues and I like Tears for Fears quite a bit too so voted for them. I actually don't think TMB are all that much more prog(or progressive) than TFF though.

The Carpenters are a very underrated band. Apart from their big hits they were a very competent live band, very jazzy and different to the persona that they appear on TV.

Focus + Beach Boys

The Beach Boys did collaborate with Chicago for the song Wishing You Were Here and that is lush. Chicago and Focus were both kind of 'fusion' back in the day.
