It's easy to pick an artist/ near genius who not only writes/sings/produces a musical genre, but in the popular imagination, defines it; the trick is to find those who, while 2nd tier, moved a genre forward or brought it, vital and lively, into a new era. Got any of those? (reggaeton/dubstep does not qualify as "moving it forward"--"Antlers in the treetop/by/ who goosed the moose?", etc).

How about some C&W songs by an early reggae band? Universal themes here, as written and originally done by Neil Diamond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFub1S4HuWg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNgzk0TvJJI << sure had a thing for red sparkling wine, didn't he?

To play with Bill Legend and Marc Bolan in T.Rex
A support role with Bob Dylan
I would love to duet with George Harrison on My Sweet Lord
A role in ELP on keyboards
A complementary riff or two with Steve Howe in Yes
Maybe I could put in a contribution to one of Mike Oldfields multitrack

i used to like them back in the day but their music just turns me off nowadays...still love their "syncronicity" album though...
love Sting's "dream of the blue turtles" and "nothing like the sun" solo sets also....
as a footnote,
tickets just went on sale here for Sting and Paul Simon together on the same bill....starting price for tickets is $189.
im not going to see them live,as i said, went off Police Sting some years ago, and Simon,well, never been a big fan of his neither but he's okay IMO.
Sting's version of Jimi's 'Little Wing' on 'Nothing Like The Sun' is superb. Have to disagree about Paul Simon. One of the most eloquent lyricists ever. And some of his music is quite complex as well. Saw him in Cape Town many moons ago. One of the best concerts I have been to and that's coming from a electronic/progressive fan - go figure!

i think he's a great lyricist also J-man,
i own "rhythm of the saints" and "graceland", love both albums, "cecilia" is one of my favourite tracks ever also..
i just think im over him for now...
love Sting's "little wing" cover,probably the best thing on the album for me...who'd have thought he would cover Hendrix so brilliantly!

I would join The Beatles. Not because I like them (I don't get all the hype about them), but because they are incredibly famous which would make me famous by association, and rich too. I would then use my new found fame, and money to start a prosperous solo career, and of course to date another celebrity, most likely Jessica Alba.

a few flawa in your comments....
1. getting famous by association is not good,riding on the coattails of people who have physically achieved something is slack and lazy...a problem with the modern generation ie: you all want everything but dont want to do anything to get it!
2. how can you have a prosperous solo career without talent...relying on the famous names of others who have achieved it will only take you so far before the world discovers/realises that you an "imposter/fake"
3. why do you want to date "another celebrity"?...just to say you can is not valid or condusive to a forming a longterm relationship, that is why most of these cso-called celebrity relationships break down as often as they do ie: no substance or emotional connection,its all about 'look at me, im with so-and-so"
you are living in a dream world mate....that is not reality...but then again, your whole generation(and im assuming you are under 22) thinks this is 'real life', all those stupid reality shows have a bloody lot to answer for, and the Kardashians,who have no talent whatsoever are the main culprits IMO...
TRY GETTING A REAL JOB< DOING A GOOD HARD DAYS WORK AND ACTUALLY START EARNING THE MONEY YOU GET!
