Any genre, any time, anybody! I would have like a whole album with the Rolling Stones or Neil Young but I would have also liked a James Taylor Appearence on the White Album or Abbey Road .
But what about you?

The Beatles with the Rolling Stones would be so interesting and would certainly eliminate the suposed “rivalry” between them
My list
Michael Jackson( not so improbable, counting the collaboration with Paul McCartney )
Eric Clapton
Billy Preston
Beethoven(Impossible, but sounds like a nice idea)
John, Paul, George and Ringo= The Beatles

That'd be a good one, yeah. The Floyd's rhythm section was totally useless; ditch those two and install Paul and Ringo!
I'm having a hard time thinking about this – collaborations that would work well. I think the Beatles were their own best accompanists and unsuitable for a lot of everything else. I mean, Paul's an excellent bassist, but he'd be completely out of his league among jazz musicians. And to have the band reduced to a mere backup band – even to someone as great as Dylan – would be unthinkable. (As would the idea of Bob's greatest-bad-voice-ever colliding with JP&G's pristine harmonies!) So instead of full-on collaborations, I can only think in terms of “guest appearances” (ala Eric Clapton, Billy Preston) on select tracks. Here's some I would've welcomed:
Jeff Beck, Neil Young – “Yer Blues ” guitar solos
Tina Turner – Duet on “Hey Jude “, trading occasional lyrics with Paul and matching him during the “na na na”s
Albert Ayler – Climactic tenor sax solo for “She's So Heavy”'s endless ending
Jimi Hendrix – Guitar fills throughout “Birthday “
Beaver & Krause – Moog sounds throughout “… My Monkey”
and…
Yoko Ono! – Freeform shrieking on “Helter Skelter “, from the false ending through to song's end, approximately 1-minute's worth. (Which is just enough Yoko)
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

@GniknuS: man, Sting was 75% of The Police. A great guitar player, a great drummer, but the poet and composer there was Gordon Mathew Sumner.

Offline Both George and John mentioned their fondness for the music of The Band (so have I!). George even hung out with them briefly in the late 60’s when he visited Bob Dylan as both The Band and Dylan lived in the Woodstock NY area. A collaboration between two of my favorite groups would have been bliss for this rock fan. Add Duane Allman to the mix and it would be perfect!

I was going to say Clapton too, but WMGGW is collaboration between them. More would’ve been very cool.
I’m tempted to say The Police, but for some reason I can’t imagine it sounding good, or at least not like either band alone… I really can’t imagine it at all, so maybe for that reason it’d be interesting.

I agree… They were all amazing (still are) but Sting was what made that band what it was, could’ve been good with a different singer, but they wouldn’t have been The Police.

@Mr. Kite
The problem is that their styles are so different. I can’t imagine what strange sort of chimera their music would have been. Like saying “Bach and Beethoven would have been a good team, right?”
