Who would you vote back to life......

Hendrix would be the top choice because he was still relatively near the start of his career and would have probably played around so much with all the technology coming out during the '70s, '80s and onwards - also because the sleeve notes for a Nice album I have suggest that Emerson, Lake and Palmer was so nearly Hendrix, Emerson, Lake and Palmer - that would have shaken up the 1970s a little!
Freddie Mercury another good choice, with Innuendo (and to a lesser extent The Miracle) Queen were just getting back on form as a great albums band after some inconsistent 1980s output, although one does wonder whether that was at least in part because Mercury knew his time was up from about '86 onwards.
On an outside (and slightly off-topic) hit - Syd Barrett - staying at merely a functioning background level of craziness, how about that one?

.Obviously bonza and moonie we're sad losse to the world of percussion.
I think Phill Lynott was a serious loss to music!
I would have liked to see how Metallica would have progressed with Cliff Burton on bass, as Cliff on the early albums was definitely a very strong musical influence.

For someone who - by his own admission - had limited knowledge of scales and modes etc, his capacity for creating HUGE Zep-like riffs and Beck-ish, unexpected sounds during solos was eye opening.
Very under-rated, and sorely missed (by myself, anyway).

But that's the rub, your only supposed to pick one. Once we have a few more votes, I will add them up and we might just make a supergroup from the results. Singer, Guitarist, Bassist, Drummer and boards.
Oh and we might need a decent band name, so thinking caps on.

Johann Sebastian Bach. I'd love to know what he would do, given modern keyboards, guitars and so forth.
Oh 100% 
Great call.
Someone once said (can't remember who), "I worship the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms".
Whoever it was, was right about Bach. I'm not convinced about the other two though.
