Orpheus. I bet he’d do great fronting a metal band.
Hendrix
Jeff Buckley, no question. He released arguably the best album of the 90s (Grace) then went and fucking drowned. Only 30 years old. He coulda been one of the best to ever do it, but we’re left wondering.
Here I am, upvoting comments of people who wrote answers first: Bach, Mozart and Buckley. I tend to believe second or third albums are the best ones from an artist, can you imagine if this was true for Buckley?
Love to basically every mentioned artists, but I think most of them did give the best they had while alive.
Chris Cornell
It’s a tie between Chris and Chester… both too soon.
I’d say at least bring back someone who wants to be here
Liszt.
Elliot Smith, no contest. Best singer songwriter ever.
Jimi hands down
Gabe Serbian

I would only suggest Ian Curtis if anti-epilepsy medication has advanced significantly since 1980. Dude had it rough.
Tim Maia.
Petri Walli.
Really, it’s a friggin’ miracle that Jeff Mangum only quit and fucked off for a decade. What all musicians need to know is that success won’t fix depression.
This answer right here.
Mozart. Dude would be social media famous in .2 seconds. He’d be annoying us all. He’d be covering all new songs same day after hearing it once. And I’m here for that chaos.
It would be a crime if he didn’t do a remake of Amadeus, replicated to the letter but for the main actor.
Amadeus Amadeus,
A-madeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus
A-madeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh, oh, oh Amadeus
(cue frenetic sequence I’ve never been able to transcribe)
Falco was amazing
Mozart is my spirit animal. I was clearly (if unconsciously) deeply influenced by his music and shenanigans and also his economic issues.

So basically Weird Al but faster?

Kirk Cubain.
I’d give him two bullet before introducing him to Justin Bieber.
The famous singer of the Band Virnana.
