What muscian would you bring back?

[Lasz]

If you could bring back any muscian from the dead who has died since 1970 who would it be?

I would be back Bob Marley, he is the best Reggae (sp?) artist ever and the only one I could ever get into. I like his style he is unique and has his own sound that I love. I don't like Reggae that much , but Bob marley is awesome and Ziggy isn't that good and is living in his dad's enourmous shadow.

[Aphrodisiac]

The King...

I would bring back Elvis ...

I would love to see him perform...

Elvis the early years ... when he was just starting.

It'd be a toss-up for me among three different people, none of whom are on your list (Philistine!!).

Jimi Hendrix
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Charlie Parker

I could have picked more than one, but I decided to pick
Janis Joplin, only because she was "ahead of her time"
in terms of women in rock n' roll......she did her own thing,
made her own rules, etc. etc......and put some good tunes
out there that are still good listening years later....love
her songs "Piece of My Heart" and "Me & Bobby McGee"....

Heh

Bob is the Greatest!!!

Unlike everyone else on the list, Bob Marley is the only one who is literally known all over the world. Greatest songwriter ever. Revolutionary. All around great guy. The world could use some more Bob.

 

[sigh]

you need an "other" category

i'd vote for duane allman...he only sat to play with eric clapton to make one album and they came up with layla...just imagine what they'd have done in the last thirty years

and the allman brothers were never the same after he was gone

 

[chewbacca71]

I would have to vote for Jim Morrison. I would just about give a piece of my soul to have seen them in concert, but alas , it was not to be. I enjoyed his music, he put a lot of his life force into his work. The musicians were also very talented.

[Private Vasquez]

Marvin Gaye

He's not on the list, but I'd bring him back anyway.

 

[dreamer]

Lennon

First of all because he is one of the few that didn't kill himself. Secondly, I am a dreamer after all...

 

[JennyOmanHill]

John Lennon

Beatles' music as a whole, then John's songs, helped me stumble into and through my teen years. As a lonely and homely teenager, John Lennon was my "hero", and gave me the idea to think for myself at a time when I was stuck in old fashioned family values.

In these times of pain and struggles, I miss his message of peace and how he presented this and other very human emotions through his music. I felt he was entering another new phase of his talents at the time he was killed.

John's love of NYC seemed as strong as mine too.

I'm with JazzMan on these guys...

although I'll admit I was thinking J S Bach rather than Bird, but I'll take the coin toss on this pool over your entire slate!

I never thought I would quote myself, but I think the invisibale Manu edited my post and made it say "JIM" morrison. Or someone somehow changed it.

What about...

Randy Rhoades
John Bonham
Bon Scott

True gems of Rock, real Rock, lost to us.

 

[Ladyhawke]

I've gotta cast my vote for someone not on the list as well. It would have to be Freddie Mercury, he was the greatest (in my humble opinion anyway).

It always struck me funny...

"We are the Champions"
"We will, we will rock you!"

Songs and words that transend time. Like, how could they have been the first to put those words to song...It's so obvious, you know?

 

[Woodmiester]

Of the list I'd pick Lennon, but like the rest I have a few others....

Harry Nilsson - Did more for music than people might thing for some mighty big names and was ahead of his time even for the 70's

Jim Croce - Because his music makes a person smile and tap the foot, he was just getting started

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Yes!!!

If I could save time in a bottle,
if words could make wishes come true........


Bad bad Leroy Brown,
badest cat in the whole damn town.
Meaner than the junkyard dog..........

 

[Private Vasquez]

Vanilla Ice

Doesn't get much better than that...he left us too early.

 

[Yoni]

freddie mercury , jim morrison and j hendrix

 

[scylis]

is there not a Dead Head among the group here?!?

baaaaaaah.

 

[Drifter014]

I would have to vote for someone that is not on your list, I wish Stevie Ray Vaughn was still around. One of the greatest blues musicians of all time.

But that is just my opinion....
