12 Inch Poll: Bring Back One Member of The 27 Club

So many rockers, artists, and stars have died at the age of 27 that The 27 Club is an actual thing. For this week’s poll, we’re bringing one of them…

Kurt Cobain

American Musician, best known as the guitarist, primary songwriter and frontman of the rock band Nirvana.

So many rockers, artists, and stars have died at the age of 27 that The 27 Club is an actual thing. For this week's poll, we're bringing one of them back.

Now, before you scroll down and vote for Kurt Cobain, stop. The exercise here isn't to bring them back today. It's to act as if they never died and are still alive today. My take? Cobain would've quit music altogether if he hadn't died, probably not long after the mid-90's. Robert Johnson would be like 111 years old, so maybe that's a stretch. But which of the other artists on the list would have taken the time we're giving them back and made something of it?

Take a look, take a moment to ponder, then cast your vote. You only get one, after all. (Actually, you can have as many votes as you have web browsers and devices, I suppose, hahaha.)
