An idea that died aborning, I'm sure

I was reading Jeralyn's post about Brokaw's "1968" program yesterday and discovered a link to a Rolling Stone music trivia quiz tailored to that specific year. I scored 35 out of 40, but that wasn't what caught me. One of the (multiple-choice) questions was "Who was the lead singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company?" and one of the four possible answers was "Joni Mitchell."

Boggle. Can you imagine Joni Mitchell fronting Big Brother?

What other unlikely lead singer/band combinations can you think of?
