Who is the most missed musical artist?

artemis · 07-16-2013, 12:51 AM

Layne Staley
Elliot Smith
Adam Yauch
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
SRV

All of which I would have liked to see just one more song, another album... see how they might have developed...

Two standardbearers, who perhaps didn't die terribly much before their time and who had their flaws, but as charismatic evangelists remain unsurpassed:

Leonard Bernstein

Virgil Fox

Two composers of tremendous talent and promise, and distinctive voices, who were taken from us in their twenties:

Jehan Alain

Julius Reubke

The person I wish was still around more often than not was Freddy Mercury.

Especially when I hear this song.

I completely forgot Kirsty MacColl. What a treasure she was.

Yep, you're right. If I recall correctly he was afraid of driving.

Marvin Gaye's death was quite a shock, being killed by his own father especially. What a senseless waste.

I second Bradley Nowell. Can't imagine where Sublime would be today if he was still around.

Also, LeRoi Moore.

RIP, my friend!
