I think a fun topic would be what would bringing back Kurt Cobain do to Dave Grohl's career?

I agree with many of the ones already listed. Here are some other ones I'd still enjoy hearing:

Pavarotti (those Three Tenors concerts were great)
Karen Carpenter (one of the best pure voices ever)
Amy Winehouse (a truly unique and talented artist)
Jim Croce (was only 30 when he died)
Freddie Mercury (fantastic vocalist)
Aaliyah (a personal favorite)
Barry White (man, that bass)
Dan Fogelberg (great lyricist and underrated musician)
Whitney Houston (if only to hear her sing again like in her heyday)
Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole (both timeless)

A part of me feels both David and krist will thrive behind the vocals of Kurt. David has a great voice as well. So if anything happened to Kurt his career would still be promising

Duane for me too. I would give anything to have been able to witness those early morning jams between Duane and Clapton during the Layla sessions.

I remember being about 10 or 11 and hearing that song for the first time. It singlehandedly made me want to play guitar. The rest of that album is awesome as well.

I'm only in my 20's, but my Dad was a teenager when that came out. He remembers hearing it on the radio for the first time and thinking that those "Derek and the Dominoes" guys were awesome, but sounded earily similar to Duane and Clapton

Of all the greats, I think Biggie had the most left in the tank.

I dont see how the likes of Jimi or Cobain for example could have reached even greater heights. But Biggie, it would have been interesting to see how he would have competed/dominated with some of the popular acts we have seen over the past 10-15 years.

I wouldn't necessarily want them to come back to life, but I would use a time machine and be a fly on the wall when Mozart was composing. I want to see how he wrote 3 incredible symphonies in just six weeks in the summer of 1788, almost without any corrections in the manuscript. Maybe I would warn him that he should avoid people and not attract the disease that eventually killed him.

I've had my kids (all under the age of 7) listen to a lot of Coltrane recently. They love the Love Supreme album and of course My Favorite Things. What a savant.

Actually, Hendrix was said to be starting a shift in style and technique at the time of his death that some around him felt was going to take him to another level.

As a huge Hendrix fan, I tend to be skeptical as well. Sure, his music changed from 1967 and 1970 and there are reports that he was interested in trying new things (using orchestras, violins, etc.), but it didn't necessarily change for the better. Much of the stuff he recorded in the last few months of his life was mediocre. The music that was released subsequently in the form of albums isn't that great, though, granted, some of it sounds unfinished and unfocused. His peak was with Electric Ladyland, but even that album had some filler.

Unlike his songwriting, what did improve for the better even to his last days was his playing. Most people don't realize how much he improved as a guitarist between 1966 and 1970. So it would have been interesting to see how he would have developed in that regard.

In the long run, his talents would have been better used if he was the lead guitarist as part of a band where he didn't have songwriting responsibilities.

Gaye was the oldest of the bunch and he was only 44

Seriously sad.
