I'm asking for you to share the musical artists that you really enjoyed or admired that passed away and you felt real sadness. Preferably this list would be people you did not know. I started thinking about this after the recent death of MCA, Adam Yauch, of the Beastie Boys. I was sadder about it than I would have expected.
If I had been older, I'm sure I would have been very saddened by the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, John Bonham, John Lennon and Jim Morrison. I'm sure I'm forgetting many.
But the death's that I can remember strongly because I felt really down about it...
Layne Staley (lead singer of Alice in Chains)
Kurt Cobain (lead singer/songwriter Nirvana)
Dimebag Darrel Abbott (Lead guitar of Pantera)
Adam Yauch aka MCA (Beastie Boys)
For reasons that weren't clear, I was also sad about the passing of Joe Morello. I didn't grow up listening to his music, but from videos, interviews and interviews of people that admired him, I was sad when he passed.
Maybe by reading some of your lists, I'll be reminded of others in my lifetime. Or maybe I'll be sparked to look closer into the music of someone on your list.
