Kurt CobainHere’s my criteria on this. I’m not bringing back Tom Petty or Prince or anyone else who decades of success. I’m bringing somebody like Hendrix, Cobain or Staley. Singers we got a glimpse of.
I upvoted GRUNDLE for posting a gif of Amy Winehouse for this reason. -
Stevie Ray VaughnStevie was just about to really take off, IMO…Jimi second, would have loved to hear him bear down on the blues/soul/funk.

Write-InHendrix I suppose.
There are a fair number of names where I can't really justify one over the other. But someone like Staley wouldn't have been the same artist minus the drugs, and for him to be alive there needed to be no drugs. It's a catch 22 or quandary or something along those lines.
Jimi might have benefited from drugs as an artist too, but I don't feel he needed them to be who he was. Maybe drug free he would've been more of a pure blues guy, which would've been pretty boring -

John LennonSaw the Stones in the Kingdome in '97 and The WHO at the Gorge in 2001.
Would have been cool to see The Beatles reunion tour at the Kingdome in '96. George's broke ass would have talked John and Paul into one reunion tour. -
Write-InPatsy Cline, Bob Marley, and as @BleachedAnusDawg entered Beethoven - all the classics from that era - if they had to listen to present era music I am sure they would be pleased
can't name one obviously -
Kurt Cobain
Marley is a great choice.LebamDawg said:Patsy Cline, Bob Marley, and as @BleachedAnusDawg entered Beethoven - all the classics from that era - if they had to listen to present era music I am sure they would be pleased

Absolutely. Has to be somebody with a lot of creativity left to give. Why I wouldn't list Chris Cornell though he is quite missed.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Here’s my criteria on this.

Even after narrowing it down like that there are far too many options obviously. -

Write-InI don't want to bring any of them back - I want to go back to when they were alive and rocking and see that.
But to play along, Bon Scott.
