Music Legends,If you could who would you bring back?

I have often wondered what the music would be like now if some of the great Legends of our time were still around,would they have changed the style of music today with their influence, lets face it some of the singer song writers and musicians from the past played a big part in our lives.
Even today new artists are turning the clock back to cover versions of their music,so the question is who do wish you could if you could have back in the music world today and how did they influence you with their music and songs.

Kurt Cobain!

Jeff Buckley. Brought melody and angst together in a great mix. His music must be listened to with a bottle of your favourite alcoholic drink. . . Whiskey, vodka, wine. . . Quality

My first instinct was Elvis Presley But similar to Cobain above both deaths we're probably caused by there own success.

So would go for someone Like Buddy Holly his music was sos different to the music of the time and he was taken whilst so young.

the beatles

Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone.

Two legends who made my life much better.

Bob marley.

Micheal jackson.

Frank sinatra.

Freddie mercury.

Good shout. The world needs Mercury back. What a rock band

Lennon,Hendrix,Marley,Harrison off the top of my head.

John Lennon, Michael Jackson & Freddie Mercury - legends 

Oh, and Karen Carpenter 

Can you image the concert in heavan at the moment?

Oh yeah !!   

If its half as good as the concert in hell it'll rock

Agree with this one, great songwriter.

George Harrison. I think we'd all love to hug him forever if he came back. God bless him.

Is right on Cobain.

Can we swap him for Nickelback though?

I'm guessing people who had their life cut short early:

Big L, Kurt Cobain, Otis Redding, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious, Bon Scott, Jimi Hendrix, Jon Bonham, Marvin Gaye, Notorious B.I.G, Jam Master Jay, Michael Jackson and Jeff Buckley

Not for me personally but for the sake of music: Tupac Shakur, John Lennon and George Harrison.

Elvis and Freddie Mercury. Would have loved to have seen Queen Live.

Jimi Hendrix
Freddie Mercury
Kurt Cobain
Cliff Burton
MJ
John Lennon

All went far too early. Except MJ seeing as he conquered the pop world.

Freddie Mercury and John Lennon definitely!

Cobain would be my first choice or any one else in the "27 club" cut down in the prime of their careers.

If Lennon was back maybe he could have stopped Paul Mac selling out all The Beatles songs to the X-factor, allowing them to be murdered on stage.

Let's just be grateful we've still got Macca.

Joe Strummer
