    It's gotta be a somebody that is high energy and is also really talented. Hendrix is awesome but his music style isn't "fun". You can't dance to Hendrix. The likes of Madonna and Elton John would be in the room and I can't see them watching Hendrix.

    I think hands down, the one artists that would draw everybody would Elvis Presley. James Brown and JLL would be right in the mix too.

    Although freaking Queen would be rockin.

    I suspect that KISS would have a strong following. ;)

    Fergy, depeche mode, megadeath, and randy Rogers would sound terrible all at once.

    The music itself would be awful, but it would blend perfectly.

    They aren't my absolute favorite band, but it'd sure be tough to pass on Queen. Best frontman of all time.

    A prime Who or Led Zeppelin would compete but I'm not sure anyone can draw them in like Freddie.

    Jerry Lee Louis with out a doubt. In his prime he would put on a show the audience would not forget and his music is not limited to a set audience.

    Who's the audience? A bunch of music critics from New York? Target demographic of high school musical?

    Without that info, it's gotta be Elvis.

    Rocket River, you really believe that Jerry Lee Lewis stole his style from Little Richard? The only thing little Richard and Jerry Lee have in common is that they both play piano and they were rock and roll trailblazers.

    Jerry Lee don't sound like anybody but Jerry Lee.

    If we're being serious about it, then Steven Tyler hands down.

    The obvious and only correct answer is, yes, you guessed it:

    Or, maybe, despite all being in the same room, they play, on stage, one after the other.
