The first ancient cavedweller to stretch skin over a frame and start hitting it to make noises. Give Grog a full drumset and see what he comes up with
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.

So basically Weird Al but faster?
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.
Freddy Mercury
My vote goes for J.S. Bach. One of my shower thoughts is that he would make a great experimental IDM artist. He would give Authechre a run for their money.
Freddy Mercury.
Or David Bowie
Wayne Static.
Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?
He would have put it in a bottle
Aaliyah. 22 is far too young to have died, and her career was moving in the craziest direction. She was set to collaborate with Trent Reznor; I wanna see how she would’ve changed the game.
Elliot Smith, no contest. Best singer songwriter ever.
Liszt.
Bradley Nowell. Sublime was so good, and none of the bands that have followed in their style have had the same lyricism that Nowell had, or have been able to really blend genres like they did to make something completely unique.
Bob Marley.
Johann Pachelbel. So many modern songs reuse the melody from his Canon in D. I just think, it’d be fun to let him listen to them. Would probably blow his mind to listen to modern music, to begin with, and then to have it be his melody, too. 🙃
Stan Rogers. Would pretty much double the number of available sea shanties
