/ Time will crawl.... Me, If I can store one to bring Tom Waits back, I'll do that. If not, read on... Yeah, He'd be my choice for one more show. I think it was poignant that he won his only grammy for a classical piece shortly before he kicked the bucket. So while I agree he had a lot more left in him, I don't know that there aren't others I would rather have back on a more permanent basis. For folks who looked like they had more left to say that I would be even more interested in hearing from: Freddy. I was just beginning to enjoy Queen when he checked out. Any of you bring Cobain back and I will shoot the whinging bastard myself.

Not so much into the rock genre compared to jazz/swing/etc, but in the category of musicians that died way too young, I would choose Glenn Miller

I'd say Dan Folgelberg, but not sure you could consider him rock. My second would be Elvis. Mom, hubby, and I all still listen to Elvis. One of his songs was sung at our wedding.

That's a tough one. The world would be a different place had Lennon not been killed. I'd love to hear 1-2 more solos from Jon Bonham.. See how different ACDC would be with Bon Scott. I'd also like to see Dimebag Darrell again. Heck, How awesome would Keith Richards be if he was still alive! He's corpse is still touring!

I'll throw a couple of names out there. These guys may not have had the potential impact as some of the artists mentioned above, but they were the vocalists for 2 of my favorite bands. I certainly miss the music they might have made.
Layne Staley of Alice In Chains Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon

Seriously. I was sure it would happen within the first page at most.

since rock is itself a corpse with little hope of reanimation, when i think about it, there's no=one i particularly care about, marc bolan aside, and that for the decadent show i imagine he could do at 60.
if i could bring a musician back, though, it'd be albert ayler.

I'd like to see how southern rock would have evolved if Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines hadn't died in the plane crash. Maybe Allen Collins wouldn't have been in that car accident.. Maybe Skynyrd wouldn't be recycling old material and counting on overly patriotic tribute songs just go get by...
There's so many what ifs...

though he might not count as a "rock star" id like to see euronymous alive for two reasons:
first to hear his side of the story and second to see what he would say/do to varg vikernes.

I must be getting old, I can't settle on just one. I'm also a little shocked at some of the names missing here. What, no love for- Janis, BB King, Jerry Garcia, Ray Charles, Robert Johnson and Bo Diddley??? No punk fans here either?? What about Sid, Wendy and Joey??? Zappa ??? I know you said Rock, but really no honorable mention for Johnny or Hank Sr. ??? I guess in the end, I'd have to go with Randy Rhoades. He went way too young.
