At first glance, I would think that Zamrock and Stax might be the furthest stretch for connecting something big enough in 2006. Bob Dylan is the only connection I can come up with to the Dead, but I'm not super well-versed in them. Erykah and Teena Marie are the most likely connections from Motown. Connections are plentiful for Ghostly, mostly to electronic music. There are definitely potential Blue Note connections, but traditionally a jazz/blues/soul pick happens in December.
Anyone else have a memory jogged from the list?
