Ceptorman Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'm going with Buddy Holly. He was only 22, but had a whole bunch of hits already. His music is everywhere, even today. Imagine what he could've accomplished. 1 Quote

Fish Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 country dick Montana of the beat farmers....heart attack on stage. This made me think of a great comedian, Tommy Cooper, died on stage while everybody horse laughed thinking it was part of the skit. What a way for a comedian to go. Quote

Fish Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Roy Buchanan...I knew he died in the late 80s but not how. One of my hero's when I was a kid in the 70s. When I heard My Babe, and Hey Joe I was hooked. Quote

Fish Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 One of the most tragic to me was the loss of Rory Gallagher. Mostly appreciated by real blues lovers and musicians but his place in history is solid. Quote

OO1 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hard to believe no one has mentioned Hendrix yet. his sound was very psychedelic - hendrix was very talented- maybe a bit too much for the average person - a different era as well - the true hippie - Quote
