Just a tip from rock critic Lester Bangs in a posthumous memo dated Jan '86:

"You know that jive about 'If there's a rock & roll heaven, they must have a hell of a band'? Don't believe it, pal. All the talent went straight to hell. All of it. The big acts up here are Jim Croce, Karen Carpenter, Cass Elliot, and ... especially ... Bobby Bloom! It's a nightmare. If I have to hear that f*****g 'Montego Bay' even one more time, I may kill mysel ...(ah, s**t, keep forgetting)."

I believe that, but who said that those from Hell culdn't be in Band-Aid. Maybe that could be one of their punishments. I mean really, could you see Kurt Cobain or Jim Morrison willingly doing a Band-Aid recording?
