The problem with that, of course, is that "chemistry" is just another way of saying "people I'm comfortable around", which is a socially acceptable way of discriminating against people who don't make you comfortable -- usually defined as "people who are different than you". And so it goes.

Lou Reed and John Cale, for example, were not comfortable around each other. That's why I said "work well together": the work is what matters, not comfort.
