Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone

no one said ricky wilson or cliff burton? well, i
just did.

and big pun was a greater loss to me as a hip
hop fan than 2pac or BIG.

I was going to say Timmy Taylor.

And I'll add Albert Ayler.

Buddy Holly

Freddie Mercury of Queen

I'll say it again= D. Boon

john coltrane

Billy Fury.

Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaugh
Randy Rhoads
Keith Moon (premature in a sense)

There's so many. Maybe no one has written

Eric Dolphy

yet.

I know it's been mentioned, but Elliott Smith's death was truly tragic. He was such an incredible song writer.


Also been mentioned, but Kurt, Nick Drake and Ian Curtis of course.

D Boon is another good choice. It's odd how much Mike Watt still brings D's death up in interviews and stuff. It really effected him, which I guess is understandable considering they were best friends and all.

elliot motherfucking smith one of the best song writers of all time

Jon Lee?

SID VICIOUS

His musical genius was never truly realized.

d. boon

hahahahahah

Obvious choice, but Cobain. Reason: You Know You're Right.

Cornelius Cardew
Jhonn Balance

ian curtis

and of course kurt and d. boon and many others... i guess charles gocher hasn't been mentioned yet.

My list, in no specific order

Ian Curtis
John Henry Bonham
Buddy Holly
Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin
Duane Allman
Darby Crash
Sid Vicious
Shannon Hoon (tragic)
Jeremy Ward
Hillel Slovak
John Lennon
Jim Morrison
