Beatles and Madonna. Beatles were probably pretty cool folk until the end when [fill in the blank] sort of tore them apart. Their musicianship and inventiveness would have just been a blast to be around. Besides, doesn't every songwriter/singer want to have to have a Ringo around to come up with the perfect drum fills and beats.

Madonna is pretty much a musical/artistic "genuis" with a real feeling for what "works". She re-invented herself many times (just like the Beatles) in order to stay fresh in the marketplace. I never liked a lot of pop stuff, but Madonna has a way of cutting through.

I think Elvis and Mariah became big time diva head cases and might have been pretty tough to be around. Nonetheless, I do have great respect for them as artists/performers and I would have accepted any chance to work with them!

I didn't know that Mariah wrote/co-wrote so much of her own stuff -- very impressive.
