Strange/funny juxtapositions in your music collection?

Question

Alphabetizing your CDs can make for some strange and/or funny bedfellows. I have Jack Off Jill, Jane's Addiction, and then Jars of Clay (!) on adjoining pages in my CD binder. Who are the weirdest musical buddies in your collection?

Thanks for all the great answers so far. This question was inspired by a friend who keeps Billy Idol next to Billie Holiday. (Which is now making me think of another question... )

Answer 1

Well since my CD's are such a mess, I'll go with what's on my hard drive since I keep folders for each artist.
