I think it was a sort of Chuck Berry/"Roll Over Beethoven" kind of sarcasm, on Brian's part. When you are raised on rock 'n' roll and jazz, it's almost too easy to make fun of classical music. I'm sure Brian and his prince meant nothing by it, other than the youthful need for something more "exciting."
Thanks for explaining; but I wasn't serious of course. Let me propose another artist here: what about: G.G.Allin? Bring back a nihilist who loved to smother himself with sh*t?!

Dennis and Carl. But not for just one night, but for a long time.
Keith Moon.
Lennon and Harrison so we could have that reunion. Chet Atkins so he could teach me to finger pick CORRECTLY. Mama Cass. Just so I could hear her sing again. Jerry Garcia. The world needs the Grateful Dead right now. Charlie and Miles. Dusty Springfield. She left just before she got the recognition she so richly deserved. Bobby Hatfield. Rock and Roll heaven would have wait.

Without out a doubt it would have to be Buddy Holly. He was a Brian Wilson prototype and I would give my left arm to step into some alt-universe where he didn't die in that plane crash to listen to what gorgeous music he would have created.
I would most like to hear what John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix would have done if they could have continued their careers. I suspect Coltrane would have gone electric for a while. I'm guessing Hendrix would have played some jazz with Miles Davis then made a pop album when he needed to replenish his bank account. Number 2 would be Kurt It would be really nice - if you could bring him back cured of his depression otherwise he would likely be pissed off to be back. Imagine Nirvana if they moved Dave Grohl to Rhythm Guitar, brought in a new drummer, and fanned out the music writing responsibilities between Grohl and Cobain. It would have been a partnership to rival Lennon and McCartney IMO. 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' in E minor? But would it sell?

I like that idea of Grohl and Cobain Mikee.
That could have made quite a splash!

Hmm, I guess I would either bring back Esquival or John Lennon.

What about Mary Hansen from Stereolab? Her BG vocals were a huge part of their sound.

Lucky! I saw them in 2006 and that was great as well. Loud gig, but expected. I think I was the only one of 5 people dancing the whole time. It was a lot of fun!

So who sings Mary Hansen's parts now? One of the guys in the band? Or does Laetitia Sadier have superpowers which allow her to sing two vocal parts at once?

Now it's a guy and to me that sucks. At least back in 06 there was a trombone covering her part.

Karen Carpenter. I bet she could have made an ace acoustic set with Rick Rubin: 'When I Was Hungry'.
OK, I'll get my coat then...

I would only bring them back to life if they weren't really resurrected, but were more like zombies with hunks of dead flesh and goop and a sobering air of putrescence.

Hehe, I see your point. Then you could be the puppet master in the studio. Make them do what you want to. And then send them back into the grave...

Dennis WilsonOf course Carl too...but Denny was, I think, a different shade of Brian. Watching Brian's TLOS dvd -- I was imagining how great it would have been to see Denny doing POB live with his own band -- to support the reRelease. Or sh-t...doing something entirely new. How many incredible albums did we never get? Damn. Now I'm angry. Syd BarrettObviously Syd was useless after the early 70s...so bringing him back would involve a little more "voodoo dust" to return him to his full madman glory. Otherwise he'd just be raised from the dead...then just tell us to F-off. But he was the most original creative mind to ever make music I think. What we have of him is frustrating. It'd be like just having "Let Him Run Wild" a few songs off Today! and maybe a Paley session. A frustrating tease. You're almost better off not getting into him!
