TOTP - Top Ten People Who Died Too Soon And Who To Swap Them For

Imagine God lets you have ten people back who died too soon, but the catch is that you have to swap them for someone similar. We thought of our top ten people who died too soon and who we'd swap them for:-
  • 10 - Karen Carpenter for Victoria Beckham
  • 9 - Peter Cook for Jim Davidson
  • 8 - Steve Irewin for Bono
  • 7 - JFK with someone
  • 6 - Freddie Mercury for Coldplay
  • 5 - Marilyn Monroe for J-Lo
  • 4 - Bruce Lee for Steven Segal
  • 3 - John Lennon for Yoko Ono
  • 2 - Diana for Camilla
  • 1 - Eric Morcolm for Jimmy Carr

If we are missing any obvious ones out then please use the comments boards on www.topofthepods.com or just email them to topofthepods@gmail.com. We can't do anything about it, but its just interesting to hear about your gribes with death.

We also requested that you ask Radio Times to review us on their Good Podcast Guide, so here's the email address radio.times@bbc.co.uk

    I want to kill John (!) and replace him with absolutely anybody after he criticised one of the most intelligent, thoughtful and influential musicians of the last 40 years- the great Brian May!

    His multi-layered guitar harmonies are unmatched and his songwriting is consistently engaging, exciting, intricate and emotionally charged.

    And as for saying he uses a Les Paul- sacrilege! He uses his home-made Red Special to get his trademark warm, smooth, yet biting sound.

    John, ignore the cliche's from the 80's, synth-obsessed, admittedly somewhat disposable Queen "I Want to Break Free" et al, and listen to some early albums- you'll be pleasantly surprised by the stunning production values.

    They are, after all, the greatest British band of all time http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/musicclub/battleofthebands_home.shtml


    Love the show Rob and John- been listening since you started and have enjoyed every show....!

    sorry to be provocative, but would nirvana have been as famous now if curt cobain was still alive? and blink 182 ARE dead, they split this year, now a really good band and a really bad one (ava). so i suppose you could swap tom delongue, i hate him. apart from that....
