You have the power to ressurect one corpse from musical history. Who would it be? Jimi? Janis? Lennon? Mozart? Beethoven? Elvis? (unless he really isn't dead) Sid Vicious? Nick Drake? Johnny Thunders? Sonny Bono? Jeff Buckley? Paganini? Falco? Mel Torme? Hoyt Axton? Tammy Wynette? Wendy O. Williams? Randy Rhoads? etc. go for it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Jeff Porcaro (every time I gave a spin to TOTO albums, I can't help thinking of his unfortune) Kevin Gilbert (one of the greatest american pop-rock voice) Freddie Mercury (a high influence for many prog artists, incluging Saga's Michael Sadler, being both a very gifted vocalist and pianist) Marcus Viana (his violin performance in Sagrado is truly amazing and I advise all the progheads who aren't yet aware of this band to discover them) John Glascock (his bass playing was unique and his death caused the departure of Barrie from Jethro Tull) Elvin Jones (because he was the best jazz drummer in my opinion) Daniel Balavoine (a french vocalist who died in an helicopter accident, and whose main influence was... Peter Gabriel) Czeslaw Niemen (the most poular polish singer, who went prog in the seventies and workrd with some acclaimed jazz-rock artists) ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

I was going to say Kurt Cobain but he would probably up and kill himself again so that would be a waste so the choice is obvious.......................

nick drake,
john bonham duane allman sandy denny bon scott stevie ray jeff buckley ray charles george harrison - had several chances to meet him and was always too shy to say hello all amazing but if i had to choose one I'd say Bonham, sounded like not a tremendously nice chap but if he hadn't got it all wrong it would have resulted in a few more Zep albums and how much would we like that.... |

I love to have seen how Jimi Hendrixs would have music would have progressed, if he could change the face of music in 4 short years then what would he have done in a ilfe time. (all covered i think in a previous thread though). OOh what about keith Moon i wonder if he will still be smashing up his kit ------------- Don't hate me I'm not special like you |

| Jeff Buckley by a mile. Died too early, too young and during the time he was laying down his second album. The Grace album was an amazing first album by any standards, so just think where he could have gone next. And with Jeff alive, he would be controlling his own music rather than it in the hands of the money grubbers as it is now. |

Florian Fricke (Popol Vuh)
Nick Drake Jimi Hendrix Jeff & Tim Buckley Frank Zappa Paul Kossoff Sandy Denny Jimi Hendrix Viv Stanshall Chris Wood (Traffic) John Glasscock Jaco Pastorius Peter Bardens Martin Lamble (Fairport Convention) John Lennon George Harrison Brian Jones Timothy Leary(Ash Ra Tempel connection) Gerry Garcia Robert Calvert Joe Strummer Mick Ronson Alan Gowan I know you asked for just one but probably Hendrix would just shade it. Many too many -------------

I just wanted to say that, despite the possible outrageous intentions of gdub's reply, Tiny Tim would be a great choice- he was one of the greatest performing historians of forgotten pop songs from the later 19th and early 20th century. While his outre image and genereal mental instability overshadowed this dedication, few of the other folks on the list represent such deep dedication to an almost-forgotten era of musical history. ...and look at it this way- the cultural disorientation would make it difficult for people like Mozart or Beethoven to pick up where they left off, but I have a feeling it wouldn't phase Tiny one bit many other choices may be found at this site: http://elvispelvis.com/fullerup.htm - http://elvispelvis.com/fullerup.htm ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">
