departed our world who would it be? We have lost some incredibly talented artists, often under tragic circumstances. If it were possible to have an encore I would vote for Janis Joplin. You?
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.. ..................NOW you can fire away! Last Response.. I'm out of here!
@ Mapman Pink Floyd isn't exactly uplifting but there's no denying their place in rock. I do believe, however that both Janis' and Cobain's music would have grown and somewhat matured as time went by. Especially Cobain's. I believe he had a way of writing music, songs and lyrics that showed honest raw emotion and wasn't nearly as contrived as some happy-go-lucky pop tune or the formulated teen angst tune so popular today. Just as Miles and Sachmo redefined the music of their time so did Kurt.
Janis is another one. I think she helped define women's ability to sing about topics that went beyond mindless bubble gum and was one of the pioneers of the bad-a$$ rocker chick with soulful music. Plus that voice. Who wouldn't have wanted to hear more of that?
