I would like to see Robert Johnson, the man who kick started rock and roll, listen to him with a recorder in hand.

Can't believe I left Bob Marley out!

I think I'd go for Moon (with Entwistle) for circa 1973 Who blow-out too.

It doesn't matter. When the re-animated dead are playing a private gig, it doesn't matter what kind of music they play. A zombie Keith Moon and a zombie Amy Whitehouse would both be freaking zombies playing a private gig for me. If I said, 'Amy Whitehouse performed in my living room last night. Yes, she's dead - it was her reanimated corpse," nobody would reply "all well and good, but couldn't you have got Bob Marley?"

If I could only choose one, it would be John Lennon.
