Preferably artists that had notable careers prior to collaborating. I would not consider McCartney/Lennon, or Jagger/Richards as candidates.

David Bowie and Brian Eno on the Berlin Trilogy: much underrated, but Eno helped Bowie break out of the glam rock mode and into experimental music.
Bowie also has collaborated with Mick Jagger for a cover of "Dancing in the Street," but I thought it was self-indulgent, two superstars cavorting on stage. Martha and the Vandellas sang it like they meant it.

F*** man , I'm sooo drunk, but on the Zappa/Beefheart front it has to be "Bongo Fury"...or maybe "Trout Mask Replica"(in the sense that Zappa produced it). In fact, the latter is definitely the best... "Ella Guru"...oooohhhh
Edit:Okay, I've sobered up (5am here), but I'm gonna stick with my answer

Strummer and Jones.
You know, Beefheart STILL resents Zappa for stealing his ideas. I don't know if that's true or not, but the influence is pretty obvious.

I'm going to pull one out that you might not know (or maybe you do know..... if you listen to Iron and Wine, you could listen to anything)
Blackfield (collaboration between Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree and Aviv Geffin)
