<br>I gotta go with The B-52s, too. They always look like they are having the best time. Their music makes me smile.

Can I be Kate? I have a thing for redheads.

I think I would have been any member of the Art of Noise up through 1984. I always thought that it was sooo fascinating and creative to craft music (just music!) as a means for social commentary. Not only that, but I would be able to have my picture taken with a "spanner."

Oh, it'd be Duran Duran all the way. I'd have my way with all those groupies and supermodels. I'd probably take the easy way out and be Nick Rhodes because niether of us know how to play keyboards.[:D]

I'd want to be Dave Barbarossa from Bow Wow Wow. A great drummer who got to look at Anabella Lwin all day? Talk about a dream job.

1. Terri Nunn, yum! and she admits to liking sex... lots of it.
2. B-52s, yay! I think that's why they made it all these years - they're not just about music but more than that, they're about lifestyle
3. More of a commentary than about this thread, I'd really like to get into the minds of our nw icons who killed themselves. Were they reaching out for something more or were they just too wasted with all that substance? I really don't dig that shit when they say : oh-my-god-we're-getting-too-popular-we're-losing-touch-with-the-real-reason-why-we're-making-music-so-i'll-kill-myself crrrrappp!

Yeah, I'd like to know what pushed Paul G. (Gary Numan's amazingly talented bassist) into his downward spiral.

Danny Elfman circa 1986 so I could be in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back To School"

I fell in love with Annabella at age 11 when I first watched the video to "Do You Wanna Hold Me" Yowzas!

This poll it's not very serious. However, musically speaking, I'd also like to be Siouxsie between 1980-1987.. that was very interesting period and would like to have got involved with the band's composition.
