Definitely Lennon. I also wouldn't mind having Stevie Ray Vaughn back.

I voted for Jerry Garcia. It surprised me that they only have 477 votes. Not a very high traffic site. They would've done better setting up the poll on the taxi forum.....ArkJack

Please come back, Jimi Hendrix! My theory is that Jimi would have switched over to accoustic blues if he would have survived.Now we'll never know.Jimi Factoid:Quote:Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10:15 a.m. on November 27, 1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital, was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James "Al" Hendrix-Al or Allen (either way, we're soul mates, Jimi )

I'd bring back Lowell George. I didn't check the list, and I don't know if he was on it, but Little Feat is my favorite band.
