I chose Janis, simply because she has been on my mind a lot lately. I
feel so fortunate to have seen her perform live one time. It just
wasn't enough.

Jimi.

Or Otis.

Anyone who can bring together crossover audiences and demographics of
change...

Gene Clark - so that I could change my mind and go to his tiny pub set
in Brighton about 3 years before he died, where he most likely would
have played this song:

My choice has plenty of Dylan content, not least because Gene died on
Bob's 50th birthday

Tough one...

John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Andy Warhol, and Jerry
Garcia come to mind... all movers and shakers... Keith Moon gets an
honorable mention... Brian Jones could come back and re-take the
Stones... Elvis could be bigger and fatter than ever... Hendrix
could design a guitar or two... Jim Morrison could say he faked
everyone out... Sid Vicious... nah...

He certainly looks like he died:

I would go with...

So Rebellious A Lover (with Carla Olson) - 1986
Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark (with Doug Dillard) - 1969
No Other - 1974

After that, I would get...

Gene Clark With The Godsin Brothers - 1968
Roadmaster - 1970
White Light - 1971

The rest are patchy, with some great stuff here and there, also there
are several one offs scattered around. There's reportedly many CDs of
unreleased material, and he supposedly abandoned more album projects
than he finished, but I'll believe them when I see them

Can't read all of this thread without thinking of the old Righteous Brothers
song "Rock and Roll Heaven".

Might be an old George Carlin line....

"If only Mama Cass had shared her sandwich with Karen Carpenter they'd
both be alive today."

There are a lot of them. The ones that immediately come to mind are Richard
Manuel, Rick Danko, John Lennon, George Harrison and Jerry Garcia. Lots of
Dylan content with each of them, one way or another.

I always get depressed when I see rwalker now, because s/he stopped
putting me down, and started focusing his/her energies on other
people. :(

I agree with Martin's suggestions (might re-arrange the order some) but
if you don't have the early Byrds albums that feature his songs (more of
his songs than any of the other members', actually) this 2 cd, Flying
High, is a great overview of his career.

Gotta go with:

Jerry Garcia (he wasn't finished)

Rory Gallagher (never got his due)

Gram Parsons (his modern records would be great)

I've already been enjoying some of Martin's suggestions, and I think
your tip about the Flying High overview is another tip I will take.

Karen Carpenter--so she could share the ham sandwich and they could
both live.
