Eddie Cochran it's hard to believe he died at 21 an age when most artist are just starting out and what little he had chance to record was still influential to a whole wide range of artists and musicians decades after his passing.

I can't really say, it's always a big loss in some way, I guess Kurt Cobain was a big loss, but so are a lot of the guys on the list of music star deaths.

Lennon made a Beatles reuinion impossible. Hendrix and Morrison died so young and were still creating very high quality music at the time of their deaths. It's difficult to say.

John Lennon.

Not to diminish the impact of the loss of other greats such as Elvis, Hendrix, etc., but Lennon was on his way to a comeback. "Double Fantasy" would have been just the beginning. Imagine the kind of stuff he would have continued to put out, considering his life experience, the changes in his perspective, etc.

I don't personally think Death was too big a loss to music. He played bass with Bill and Ted, sure, but he was only really average. Wouldn't have got there on his own merits. A real case of not what you know but who you know.

PS Forward to Death, who's the babe in your avatar? I must know!

Anyone who had made a success in their musical career is a loss when their life is cut short. Just to add three to the mix:

Cliff Burton
Dimebag Darrell
Randy Rhodes
