Who would you choose?
Remember to think about their impact on music and society in general. Were they past their prime when they died? Or were they yet to reach their peak of influence and creativity?
Also, they would be revived at the exact moment they died. So no choosing "80s Michael Jackson"
Some suggestions!
Keith Moon
Freddie Mercury
Tupac Shakur
Layne Staley
Jim Morrison
Bob Marley
Kurt Cobain
Jimi Hendrix
John Lennon
Johnny Cash
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Joe Strummer
Michael Jackson
Ian Curtis
George Harrison
Buddy Holly
John Bonham
Janis Joplin
Jeff Buckley
It was a tough decision...first there's Freddie Mercury dying way too young of AIDS. Then John Lennon, the peace activist. And of course, Buddy Holly, one of the Beatles' main influences dying too young from a freakin' plane crash.
Nevertheless, I'm going with Tupac. He was extremely influential to the Black community, shedding light on the racism that still existed and police brutality. He rapped about growing up in the face of oppression, racism, poverty, and violence. Many would say that he glorified violence, but in his words, "you can't live in hell and try to act like an angel."
It sounds ridiculous coming from a 20 year old Canadian white girl, but the man's just so fascinating and died way too young.
So, LB, who do you choose to revive?

yeah but if you were to revive him, he would be 2010 MJ, not "Thriller" MJ. So you can definitely choose him if you want present-day Michael Jackson.

1. JIM MORRISON - he simply wasn't done yet with The Doors, they had alot going on, and after reviving their band with the Blues, I cold definitely see one more Blues album.
2. John Bonham - although for me, I couldn't really understand their music after Physical Graffiti, it would have been nice to see them all play live. Maybe if they did, this generation would have a greater appreciation to music with quality.
3. George Harrison - My favorite out of the Beatles, even though the Beatles are long gone, I feel a part of music died when George did.
4. Jimi Hendrix - This man had the world ready to emerge from his two hands. He wasn't done, I'm sure he would've done so much more to music if he was still alive.
5. John Lennon - His philanthropy is the characteristic I admire, hadn't he be shot, maybe our world would be slightly more peaceful.
Really the only dead musicians I wish to be back(:

I wouldn´t revive Kurt Cobain, because he was miserable. GG Allins would probably run naked in the streets. Sid Vicious would have dropped right back down. Joe Strummer (see Sid Vicious). Maybe Brian Jones to find out how he REALLY died.
My point is, everything happens for a reason, and all these greats that have been mentioned are dead for a reason, it may be stupid, but that´s life.

"Halloween in Heaven - it?s Christmas in Hell
Halloween in Heaven oh well oh well
Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass as guest morticians
Bon Scott on vox, Rhoads just for kicks, on guitar Hendrix
Lennon sits in with his friend George but where is Morrison?
Of course I cried when I heard they?d died and took a part of me
Same time gave from beyond the grave became what was to be
Elvis ain't dead so he isn?t here party never ends
Demon roadies, angel groupies, suicide losers
If only I?d known how cool death is I?d have killed myself sooner"
