OK, since ya'll have already named many of my favorites...I'll throw Lowell George's name into the mix...he wouldn't be my first/only choice, but certainly deserves a mention imo... What I'd really like would be to have an allstar jam with all of them!!!

Ozzy Osbourne should be brought back from the dead.

SHARON!!!

Oh and - nobody voted for Dimebag yet? Soft crowd.

One Vote? Hendrix

Two or more:

Elvis... If, indeed, he really IS dead... :rolleyes:

John Bohnam

Morrison? Hmm... Love 'im, but still not sure...

Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson both rocked!!!! Bring 'em back!

Ian Curtis

Agreed. Wasn't he involved in an accident that left him without smell, or was it taste or feeling? As I remeber, a day before the band was going to perform, he commited suicide. Very sad :(.

John Lee Hooker

Was autoerotic asphyxiation from what I heard.....

John Lee Hooker's dead? When did that happen?

I think you are right. I just did some more research. According to "VH1 classics", the biography Michael Hutchence "was a victim of an apparent hanging" I forget where I read the other parts of it though.

Matt

Have to be Muddy Waters.

He influenced them all Jimi ,Stevie and the lot.
The list of blues men is long. Howlin Wolf, Lightning Hopkins, Albert Collins, Albert and Freddie King.

Absolutely. (though he's not really a rocker)

Amazing how most musicians creativity runs dry in thier later years (Elvis, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder....) Not so with John Lee. His best stuff was the in the five years before he passed.

BAH! I was supposed to see JLH at the Montrael Blues Festival a few years back... He was on my "must see" list.

Moses... my favorite JLH is with Canned Heat. He really seems to have been enjoying himself.

That's great stuff.

I think Carlos Santana's guitar on "The Healer" is his best in decades.

I also love the JLH/Van Morrison stuff. I forget the name, maybe "I cover the waterfront." Great stuff.

George Harrison

SRV!

My post was posted BEFORE the incident.

I'd love to have him back.

One vote: SRV

Two votes: SRV and Bonham

Keth Moon.

If you look at these guys lives and see what CREATIVITY they still had to offer...one name come up as a life cut too short and that is Jimi Hendrix....

Lowell George, Jim Morrison ... would be others...
