Strung Out
I vote for John Lennon and I'm really not much of a fan but, the combination of his undeniable genius and the fact that he was murdered and not some moron who choked on their own puke, makes him my greatest loss. Actually, SRV is my number one. His life was taken and I loved his playing.
Stevie Ray Vaughn
So, who you got and why?
I tried to keep out people who lived a full career (Cash) but, obviously, there are a LOT to choose from and I added Elvis though I mostly tried to stay under 40. My goal here is who do you think would have added most to the musical tapestry of our lives had they lived to 50-60? Michael Jackson and Mercury are in because it just seems like they would have done more. I also tried to keep it from being too obscure so, Paul Baloff of Exodus didn't make the cut.
Please vote for your top 5 biggest loss, the people you think would have given us all the most. And feel free to do write ins and, of course, a small blurb about each as to why and, of course, feel free to blast one anothers picks.
Last rule; let's try and make it to 10 pages or so before it devolves into something about sex or other off topics. Ok, I said that just for the hell of it...
Last last rule; WAIT FOR THE FREAKING POLL
And, keep in mind, I was limited to 15!
