So I'm doing a collage project for my art class and I thought this would be a good theme. I was thinking of dead rock stars rockin' out in the clouds with like a heavenly glow behind them.. I might even contrast it with music hell below....


I have a pretty good list in my head, but was wondering who you guys would include in rock n roll heaven. Once I get a solid list, then I'll start gathering the photos. I think this is gonna be pretty bad arse.

There are no dead rock stars in heaven. Lawrence Welk is in heaven. So, musically speaking, heaven is musical hell and hell is musical heaven. fricked up I know, but that's the way it is.

I can see your point. I'm not really thinking of heaven in the sense of pearly gates and streets of gold though. I'm thinking of it in the sense that if you could get all of these guys on one stage for a night, it would be heaven.
There really aren't any limits to where I can go with this though, so I'm open to imput.



Good names so far

I know who would be in my Heavenly Choir Rocking Blues Review. On drums and bass I would want more than just a solid rhythm section. I'd go with Keith Moon and John Entwistle since I know what they can deliver as a matched pair. Steady and solid enough that they could keep pace with the others in the band without being a limitation either. On keyboards I'd want a recent addition Jon Lord. I'd want two guitarists who would interchange playing lead and rhythm. Jimi Hendrix and Roy Buchanon are my choices narrowly over Duane Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughn. And my front man would be Sam Cooke by a country mile ahead of John Belushi.

I'd be OK if someone drafted Jim Belushi.
