I picked george harrison but only for his beatles work. He did all of my favorite

songs like While my guitar gently weeps and within you without you

^ Yes, showing my closet love of plastic girl bands.

However, if a group could look like Atomic kitten and sound like Atomic Rooster, now that WOULD be something.

Lennon, Morrison, Stevie Ray Vaughan(he's the blues guy who died in the helicopter crash), Hendrix, Harrison, Joplin and Mercury from that list. Not gonna bother to think of anyone else who's not listed because I'm lazy.

Nevermind I just did. You forgot Jerry Garcia.

I vored Morrison.But I agree with you on Rhoads.I was fortunate to see Ozzy on his very first tour and I was mesmerized by this little guy playing a Flying V almost as big as he was.I don't even think I watched Ozzy and the rest of the band!!!!!

And Laura Branignan is dead??

HOW ABOUT DAVID BYRON PPL? HE HAD A FANTASTIC VOICE. ROCK IS MUCH POORER WITHOUT HIS VOICE.

I don't think anyone was mentioned Warren Zevon yet. A truly underrated song writer, IMO, and a great lyricist. 'Twas a real shame when he died. RIP

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

No-one mentioned the most recent dead - Pierre Moerlen, drummer of Gong, who died May 3rd of a heart attack. This is especially disappointing from a guy like Oiverstoned, who has a Gong quote in his signature.

Another very important one that has not been metioned, and one of the best poets in prog rock, was Robert Calvert, singer and poet for Hawkwind and half a dozen of solo albums who died in 1989.
