@Labdad

Cool! I think I would have added Lowell George - I don’t see him here. I also would have voted for Warren Zevon.

For my 5th, I think Eddie Cochran (“Summertime Blues”), killed in a car crash on his UK tour at the age of 21.

@DearestDane

Vote from the list:

Miles Davis

Write-ins:

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Sabicas
Ali Farka Touré
Violeta Parra

@Feyrat

George Carlin is not on this poll. Boo to you, sir!

@Ethilrist

I would also add Eva Cassidy.

@dnooman

Jeff Buckley
John Bonham
Keith Moon
Lane Staley (Alice in Chains)

Phil Hartman. I know he was an actor, but I really feel cheated that he was taken from humanity so early.

@zoog

On the OP list, I could have voted for several, but I kept it to two: Jimi Hendrix & Miles Davis. Only because I’d like to figure out a way to get those two in a studio together and see what happens.

If I could add one that I haven’t seen mentioned:

I never got to see Muddy Waters. Wish I could have.

@notfrommensa

I picked four because you left Jeff Healey off the list. amazing talent.

Put me down as wanting to bring MCA (Adam Yauch, Beastie Boys) back to life. Shit, he’s only been gone a day but I’d make him a higher priority than a lot of the people on this list.
