Which artist's death was the biggest loss for music?

[Moderator1]

Sorry about the original - we had a bit of outing and then the person who was outed quoted the offending post and it turned out cleaning it up would have taken way more time than I have for such bullcrap.

Someone is about to go away for a few days. Remember: Don't refer to people by former screen names. Some change for no good reason. Some change for very good reasons. It is not up to YOU to decide.

So, again, I apologize that the behavior of a few Fs things up. Please carry on.

Maggie May is a great song, but it's a first-ballot HOFer in the overplayed-to-the-point-I-don't-wan't-to-here-it-ever-again category.

See also It's Only Rock 'n Roll, Kashmir, etc.

That's fair.

Kashmir really only picked up after the remix for that awful Godzilla movie, at least where I lived. Never used to hear it when I was a kid.

In Indianapolis, Q95 (the classic rock station that was uber-popular when I was in high school) had (and still has) the following play list:

Sweet Home Alabama
Frampton Comes Alive
Boston's first two albums
Led Zeppelin (but nothing after Kashmir on the Physical Graffiti album)
Maggie May and You Wear It Well
Rolling Stones Rewind greatest hits album (but nothing after Start Me Up)
Foghat's Slow Ride, and when they get crazy, Fool For The City


That's it. And never the twain shall meet.

Surprised I don't see Buddy Holly mentioned yet on this thread. :D

There's no chance they don't play "Don't Stop Believin'."

Mozart. Gershwin. Hendrix. Vaughn. Johnson.

Most of us are too young to know about him. :D

Forgot about Journey. They also play Feelin' That Way/Anytime That You Want Me frequently.

You know who I'd consider to be more or equally significant to Lennon? Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez.

Completely agree. We're talking about significant fire-starters, right?

 

[Mystery Meat II]

Nobody say Tupac because that's rap, not music

 

[Zeke12]

Hank Williams.

Tupac.

Music hasn't been the same since Amy Winehouse passed.

 

[imjustagirl]

I love each and every one of you.

Even Zeke.

 

[Zeke12]

I love each and every one of you.

Even Zeke.

My death will be no loss for music, though.

 

[imjustagirl]

It will be for the music in my heart.

But my heart will go on.

 

[dreunc1542]

Sorry, Celine Dion is not an acceptable answer. She's still alive.

 

[Uncle.Ruckus]

She is?

 

[imjustagirl]

Sorry, Celine Dion is not an acceptable answer. She's still alive.

Not in my head, she's not.

 

[dreunc1542]

She is?

**** you, troll!
