If you could bring back one great artist that has

I've been passing over this thread for while now. At so many different points in my life, I would have picked so many different artists, including most of the above. As of today, right now, I'd bring back: Johann Sebastian Bach.
If he doesn't show up, I reserve the right to change my mind.

Unsound: You make a very good observation about "different points in my life". BTW, your right to change your mind is reserved! We'll see if he shows up!

I know that everyone is going to hate me for this, but it
looks like everyone else has already covered some of the
greatest Musicians. For a change of pace, I would put my
two cents in for John Barry. I figure he is atleast worth
two cents. Excuse me while I duck out of here......and..

I'm out of here!

Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin

Armstrong, definitely. Davis, sure why not.

Cobain and Joplin? Not the most uplifting performers, though talented, but whatever.

Maybe they would have pulled themselves together and taken it to another level?

OR if they ever straightened themselves out, possible they lose their core fan base also.

You never know.....

It's A wonderful Life?
