Nirvana x Sublime = Utopia

R.E.M. + The Script = Dream Theater

Weezer – Air Supply = Grateful Dead

(Europe + Asia) x Foreigner = Outkast

Rage Against the Machine + Florence + The Machine = System of a Down

Mastodon + Dinosaur Jr. + Queens of the Stone Age + T. Rex + Gorillaz = Jurassic 5

[(Animal Collective – The Animals) ÷ Collective Soul] + Kid Rock = Soulja Boy
