Doobie Brothers w/Michael Franti & Spearhead

And I thought Mavis Staples & Billy Bragg was an odd combo.

Girl Talk

The most well known mash-up artist of all-time? I would say so. Playing "name that tune" is part of the joy of a Girl Talk show. He focuses on modern hip hop and pop, mixing it with all the classic tunes from the past 40 years. He still mixes in obscure bands, which make his mash-ups so great. The negatators will say all he does is press play on his laptop, but it's still so much fun.
