| Here are a variety of artists who have died before 30. I have included multiple genres of music, and could barely include any prog rock figures, since most of them have not died under 30. In fact, a ton of them are still alive today. People in the 27-club also get treated like gods put down from heaven to serenade this artless wasteland(Earth) and improve it. |

Jeremy Ward, who contributed vocals and electronic effects for At the Drive-In, De Facto, The Mars Volta, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. His sound is all over the Deloused album, but died just a month before it was released. Another 27 club member. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| I'll vote for Tim Buckley, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix, but when I saw the topic's title, Nick Drake is the name that immediately came to mind. He died at 26. |

Sadly, my all time favorite musician is a member of the "27 Club", Triumvirat's Helmut Koellen, who died on May 3rd, 1977. His surviving music means a whole lot to me. Also listed is Randy Rhoads, who I was lucky enough to see live with Ozzy in the summer of 1981. I miss him, as well.

Definitely in agreement with Nick Drake being an obvious omission. I went with Jeff Buckley off this list (Lover You Should've Come Over is one of the best songs ever written as far as I'm concerned), but I definitely would have chosen Nick if he were on it

Jim Morrison (If I could pick one who lived, he would definitely be the one. The Doors is one of my favorite groups, too, and Jim was funny guy) P.S. - Terry Kath died at 31. Feel free to delete this, but when he died, Chicago died... Great singer/guitarist. Might be one of the most underrated.
