Name three musical artists you wish you could bring them back to life now

Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Harry Chapin.

hendrix, big l, eyedea

Elvis, John Lennon, Joe Strummer


I thought about Kurt Cobain, but man, he wrote so much amazing music, I'd almost hate to risk it..

Warren Zevon
Beethoven
Louis Armstrong

Hendrix, Hendrix, Hendrix. He is the only one that I feel would have continued to evolve and grow over a long lifespan like Picasso did with his art.

Biggie, Biggie, Biggie.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jerry Goldsmith, Miles Dewey Davis III

was gonna say that damn it.

but really john bonham so zep could get back on
ronnie van zant and the others from skynyrd that died in the plane crash
bradley nowell from sublime

Can't you see.....

How stupid of a choice that is.

This is the correct answer. We're looking for people who got cut down before their time, not people who've lived a complete life and were burnt out at the end.

I think Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Buddy Holly would also work here.

think lennon, if he wasn't killed that day would be writing more songs for a long long time. also jimi for that matter. personally I would've loved watching freddie mercury and queen in concert.

Hendrix, Lennon and Chopin.

+1

No one comes close.

Hendrix, SRV, Beethoven.

Frankly I'm nostalgic for a number of other artists (Lennon, Bonham, Mercury, Strummer) but of the artists that come to mind - I think only Hendrix, SRV, and Beethoven were all at their best when they passed on - and it makes me wonder what would have come next had they lived.

+1 for Hendrix

My personal picks:

Ian Curtis (Joy Division)
Richey Edwards (Manic Street Preachers)
