What musical icon death had the biggest impact on you

[Dino Velvet]

And I've no idea what Oifarang meant when he says the OP has no idea about musical icons.

He might think some were omitted. I would've liked to have seen Hank Sr up there but no list is perfect.

I almost forgot Arthur Lee - he was a genius, a bit of a scary nutter of a genius but a genius nonetheless

Guess I am weird for not having this issue.

No Death of a Musician or any Celebrity for that matter has ever impacted noticeably on me.

I usually blame it on growing up in New Orleans, but maybe it is more....
Idolizing someone to any point of obsession is just not in me I guess.

..?..or maybe it is just because their Legacy lives on in their Music..?..

OMG yes! How could I have forgotten?! He's my favorite Beatle. His solo work with Jeff Lynne was just brilliant! I'm always amazed at how underrated he is compared to John and Paul. Maybe it's because he wasn't named after a Biblical disciple?

Might as well mention Roy Orbison then too...

I'm with south ov da border on this one: Jimmy Castor. To me 'Troglodyte' is the greates song of all time.

Whoops! That too. I didn't mean to put him out before his time there!

Not to worry...Greg's not lookin' all that good these days. Cher wore him out. There was a time when he could sing and play the blues....Yes Duane and Barry Oakley both died on Harleys. "Eat a Peach for Peace" as Duane used to say.

If Jim Morrison had lived 10 more years I wonder how he woulda turned out.
