wanna be drummer Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Karen Carpenter? Ian Curtis? Kurt Cobain? Shit, I'll take Brad Nowell over all three of them combined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal box Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Of COURSE Karen Carpenter is a rock star. "DON'T YOU REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!". You all know you secretly love it. I'm a huge Joy Division fan but I don't see the point in getting Ian Curtis back for one show. For one album? HECK YES!!! You know I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Man I love Karen's voice, sure it was pop but that voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanna be drummer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My top ones are Hendrix, CLIFF BURTON!!!!, and probably Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hendrix and Burton weren't even at their peak yet. With all respect to Moon and Bonham, but the Who and Zeppelin probably wouldn't have made another Untitled or Tommy or whatever. Metallica would've been better with Burton all these years and Hendrix would've created a hell of a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Division hadn't even released their second album... sure New Order are OK but don't hold a candle to their own naive post punk genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for Joy Division at all so it's bringing back Curtis isn't really a thing to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croquet'n'cocaine Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 First choice would totally be Bonzo for me, if only because the other three are on top form now so there's no reason why he shouldn't be too. After that, I'd take a joint resurrection of Lennon and Harrison. If John hadn't been shot, there is no doubt at all in my mind that The Beatles would have worked together again, possibly even have played live (albeit as rarely as Zep). Finally, Hendrix. The others... RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Lynott 19. Karen Carpenter 20. Keith Moon How's it going all? GREAT LIST! However, in my opinion, this list would not be complete without the late great Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. (The Big Bopper) Richardson. These three deaths in February 1959 alone would forever be known as THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED! R.I.P. to all of them and ROCK ON!

Evster2012 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Karen Carpenter was a "Rock Star"?? Though she did beat out Bonzo for best rock drummer in a Playboy poll back in the 70s. That's pretty stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
