1. Jimi Hendrix (whoever said the music world would be different if he'd stayed around is right--he was just revving up when he died)
2. Jim Morrison
3. Janis Joplin
4. John Bonham (what greater tragedy than the breakup of Zeppelin?)
5. John Lennon
6. John Entwhistle/Keith Moon (the Who ain't the same without that rhythm section)
7. Stevie Ray Vaughan
8. Duane Allman
9. Bob Marley

hendrix
janice
morrison
keith moon
pigpen
and to play bass allen woody
and i know he aint a rock star but a lot of the above post wouldnt contain some of the gretas with out uncle bobo better known as bill graham
I've heard that before...stuff like Hendrix and twopac were murdered by the cia and a whole lot of other mumbo jumbo...but honestly...who the hell would want to murder these guys, I'd understand maybe someone who knew them personally, had a grudge or whatever, but it's not some conspiracy...besides, people like Hendrix and twopac weren't even important figures worth murdering anyway...now men like Napoleon, Stalin, and Alexander, they were secretly poisoned, despite what most books say.Quote:

RICHARD WRIGHT - PINK FLOYD IS ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER. I dont say Sid because I doubt we would of had Saucerfull of Secrets, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, or The Wall (plus many others but those are the best) if Sid had stayed sane.
Syd Barrett
LeRoi Moore
Nick drake (dunno if you could call hima rock star, still amazin tho)
Hendrix (obviously):jointsmile:
Syd Barret (surprised no one has really mentioned him)
Bob marley (again not a rock star per se, but still amazin)
Could list loads!
But here's some not on anyone's list yet:
Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)
Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone)
Ronnie VanZandt, and co. (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Jeff Porcaro (Toto)
Roy Orbison
Bonn Scott! nobody could scowl like Scott. :cool:
Dwayne Allman and his bass player whose name I forget. Great live show in the day. :thumbsup:
jerry, lennon, marley, zappa & bradly
JOE STRUMMER
Jimmy Hendrix:hippy:
You must be referring to Berry Oakley, the original Allman Bros bassist. Like Duane Allman, Oakley was killed in a motorcycle accident which happened 13 months after Duane. He died less than three blocks from the site of Duanes fatal accident in Macon, Ga.Quote:
