here! here! Jerome, Buddy Holly was possibly the greatest loss to rock & roll....i think the Big Bopper had an interesting career about to take off also, not so sure about Richie Valens though...probably just a flash in the pan career, still it is sad when anyone dies... 3x RIP.

I do agree with this fact guys. Without music there is nothing interesting in the world.

I know this won't be a popular view, but Kurt Cobain should rank in there somewhere. Elvis & Lennon were way past their prime when they died, whereas the tragedy of Cobain's suicide as a result of phenomenal success is highly poignant.
It's a bit of a parallel with Buddy Holly's early demise in terms of checking out at the peak of your popularity...

im not a huge elvis fan. but im a huge Lennon fan and i dont think he was past his prime i just think yoko was getting to many songs on the albums. but what makes it such a famous/infamous death is that he was in the beatles and released some pretty huge selling albums and on top of all that he was murdered wich makes it so infamous.
