Astrojanitor Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I forgot about Nikki Sudden, Del Shannon and Dennis Wilson
BigDaddy12 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Wow surprised this thread made 3 pages without someone mentioning Brad Nowell...
Astrojanitor Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Rod Stewart? he's been dead to me since the Faces broke up
Buftex Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 he's been dead to me since the Faces broke up Ian McLagan, Ron Wood and Kenny Jones are doing a few Faces reunion shows this summer, at different European music festivals...the part of Rod Stewart will be played by the singer from Simply Red. I talked to McLagan a few weeks ago, he assures me that the guy can sing his ass off...said Rod still had about a century of songs to "murder", so he wasn't available. He also mentioned that they might do a small US tour next spring! btw- shame on me for not mentioning Townes and Ronnie Laine on my moldy oldies list! And Thelonius Monk...Elvis Presley...Brian Jones, and about a 100 others... If you are a Townes Van Zandt fan, you should check out the documentary "Be Here to Love Me", if you haven't already. It is heartbreaking...guy had a lot in common with Gram Parsons, the way it struck me.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Johnny/Joey/Dee Dee Ramone Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed. But sir, those arent... DO AS I SAY!
Rex Ryan's Lapband Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Three pages without even a mention of the Man in Black...? Johnny Cash. we miss ya, pal.
Rex Ryan's Lapband Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 ...oh, and Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines. "if I leave here tomorrow... would you still remember me?"
DrFishfinder Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I'm going to mention Michael Hedges. Probably not that well known, but had a unique style that was really nice to listen to.
The Senator Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Since Warren Zevon & Frank Zappa have already been mentioned, I'll go with... followed closely by Duke Ellington, Oscar Petersen, Louis Armstrong, & Frank Sinatra.

It is heartbreaking...guy had a lot in common with Gram Parsons, the way it struck me. I heard about that. Mick Hucknell...I don't get it. What I find interesting about the reunion is the role of Ronnie Laine will be played by Glenn Matlock from the Sex Pistols. That may be something. Be Here To Love Me is amazing. never expected him to be as nerdy as he was. Heartbreaking and funny in some weird ways. Just got a double live LP of his last week. A deadly live performer. And shame on me for not saying Vern Gosdin and Brian Jones
coloradobillsfan Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I'm going to mention Michael Hedges. Probably not that well known, but had a unique style that was really nice to listen to. he certainly was on his way to becoming well known, that's for sure. i was very happy to have seen him twice; once alone acoustic, and the other time paired with bassist michael manring

bartshan-83 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Layne Staley There he is! I was going to have to do it myself if no one else mentioned him.
Chef Jim Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 Sounds like some of you have an issue with the concept of favorite dead musician.
