I'm surprised no one mentioned Jimi Hendrix yet. It would have been interesting to see where he took his music in the seventies. It just proves that drugs really suck.

I did.

Oh well cool. I was sure the Wiki entry said something about it being unfinished. Weird. Lemme go check.

Nah, I just misread it. Cool then.

I want to know what would have been on that album though, and what the five tracks were that were recorded. Reckon we'll get to hear them?

The way whoever's manning the helm now is going, I think so, although perhaps not for a while. All these box sets are rad.

Visconti, surely?

Blowfly.

Jun Seba, aka Nujabes, was the first name that came to mind, mostly because of his age, cause of death, and his small but important discography.

Chuck Schuldiner because I want some more Control Denied.

People have made some good points about who is most worthy of being rescusitated. I agree that someone near the end of their career or someone who burned out on drugs and died by their own hand don't particularly deserve to take that "only one musician" spot. I would not, for instance choose Nick Drake, who perhaps had already said most of what he had to say.

A more worthy candidate imo would be Ritchie Valens. He died in that Buddy Holly plane crash, and the guy was only seventeen years old ! His recording career as a 50s heartthrob had lasted exactly eight months, and yet in that time he took the brazen step of insisting that his record company release La Bamba. At a time when the music industry on both sides of the Atlantic were frantically downplaying any hint of ethnicity, he boldy declared his Mexican roots. Who knows what he might've done if he had made it out of his teens ?!

I haven’t read this thread but I think it would be cool to hear what Back In Black would sound like with Bon Scott singing. Plus he’s an ideal candidate for the Pet Sematary treatment. Plus, Joey Ramone just because he sang that song saying he didn’t want anyone to do that to his corpse. He’d be pissed!

I think this is a very good argument. He could have ended up having a huge cultural impact instead of just being "that guy with Donna and La Bamba." He could have been an Elvis. Except more Mexican.

Meh. Julio Iglesias was fine.
