Mercury and Bonham Top List for Dead Rock Fans Want Back

The results of a poll conducted by the ThisDayInMusic.com web site — which asked its readers the question "Which dead rock star you would bring back to life for one gig?" — have been released. Led Zeppelin's John Bonham was voted into first place with 26% of the votes. Queen's Freddie Mercury came second with 22% and Elvis Presley third with 10% of the votes.

The rest of the list:

01. John Bonham
02. Freddie Mercury
03. Elvis Presley
04. John Lennon
05. Jimi Hendrix
06. Kurt Cobain
07. Bob Marley
08. Jim Morrison
09. Johnny Cash
10. Jeff Buckley
11. Stevie Ray Vaughan
12. "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott
13. Frank Zappa
14. Ian Curtis
15. Janis Joplin
16. Bon Scott
17. Jerry Garcia
18. Phil Lynott
19. Karen Carpenter
20. Keith Moon

This isn't a bad list. I would love to see all the artists back alive for at least one more show. But I would have John "Cocaine till the End" Entwistle on the list. I would love to see the original line up of the Who perform.

So that begs the question, which band would you want to see reform with all original members? The Beatles? Led Zeppelin? Jefferson Airplane?
