Who would you like to Ctr-Z (undo) their untimely death? A few names bring a tear to my eye, namely Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer. I came across a list of the 50 most famous Dead Rock Stars and I will highlight my picks:
50 Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) 1967-2002 - Great band...naughty drug habit.
43 Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols) 1957-1979 - A legend, albeit for the wrong reasons. See my previous post...
25 Joe Strummer (The Clash) 1952-2002 - One of the top bands in my books.
16 The Ramones - Joey 1951-2001 - Dee Dee 1952-2002 - Johnny 1948-2004 - The beginning of 2000 was devastating for Rock-n-Roll losing three Ramones.
11 Jim Morrison (The Doors) 1943-1971 - A great poet and songwriter and performer.
9 Bob Marley 1945-1981 - Reggae's most recognized performer. Great summer tunes.
8 Kurt Cobain 1967-1994 - Brought us great music, but again...nasty drug habbit. Still not sure if it was a suicide.
6 Jimi Hendrix 1942-1970 - Master of the guitar.
1 Johnny Cash 1932-2003 - The man in black.
I salute the dead rock stars, may they continue to live through their music. Rock on!
