Freddie Mercury. That way Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds, and Salvador Dali can reunite the Mustache Alliance.
before he was deaf right? and even then, remember he was a composer, but didnt play ALL of the orchestra's instruments.CM156 said:
unfortunately, i cant think of anyone atm. just a few artists whom are too far away for me to see, unless they come to the midwest.
Kurt Cobain. Besides being a great musician and person, we'd finally hear straight from the horse's mouth on how he died.
I'd say John Lennon, but wanting that I'd also want George Harrison back as well so that the Magical Mystery Reunion Tour could finally begin.

Ella Fitzgerald. No doubts. She was a hell of a lady and an amazing singer. And her duets with Louis Armstrong...

EDIT: My father would beat a path back from the Summerlands to whoop me if I didn't mention Ray Charles. Because he was awesome, too.

Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Nick Drake (can't believe noone has said Nick Drake already) were all right in their prime when they died. Their last studio albums were Electric Ladyland, In Utero and Pink Moon respectively, not only 3 unbelievably fantastic albums, but arguably each artists best release.
Cash, Mercury, Bonham and Dio, although all great artists in their own right, were definately past their peak when they died.
On the other hand, I'm not really sure I'd revive any of them. I would hate to see Hendrix or Cobain becoming dull and old or horrible self-parodies like so many of the decade spanning careers we see. Remember the Who's superbowl performance. Now imagine replacing them with a 60 year old Hendrix and then consider whether it actually turned out for the best or not.

I would go with Cliff Burton or Jaco Pastorius, two great bass players but even better composers. I would like to hear what they would have done having all this extra time.
I'd assume we're talking about a full resurrection. No one wants Zombie Ray Charles lurching around, it would be kinda gross. Although Janis Joplin and Elvis might be in pretty good shape, I'm sure they had plenty of preservatives in them when they passed...Cliff_m85 said:

And yeah, would love to see what else he could do with jazz, that or just see him playing stuff such as the material on Dark Magus, Agharta and Pangaea..
Johnny Cash no doubt I listen to song after song from him. Im only 18 but I have a great appreciation for old country like songs that he sings I always wish I was born in the old days.
