Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Sure, there are plenty of musicians who had a bigger impact on music as a whole, but NOBODY I've ever seen was more in tune with the universe than Stevie when he was playing.
As far as I can tell, he didn't actually play the guitar. He just acted as a conduit to channel music directly from the universe through a guitar. I don't think he ever once had to pause and consider what to play next when he was improvising, it just flowed out of him non-stop.
He had already started getting even better, having finally gotten sober, and it kills my soul every time I think about what else he could've given us had he not gotten on that helicopter.
Tim Maia.
Hendrix
I'd bring back Sonny. Cher needs her Sonny again.
JW
Kirk Cubain.
I'd give him two bullet before introducing him to Justin Bieber.
