Who is the greatest dead rock star of all time?

[Tray73]

The two deaths I was most upset by were John Lennon and Freddy Mercury.

Sunny, pleased you mentioned Phil Lynott.

Too many to even comment IMO , however Syd Barrett, Vincent Crane and Rory Gallagher spring to mind, oh and Ronnie Drew too

Gotta represent the drummers here! Keith Moon and John Bonham. Two lively, energetic dudes full of life that left us way too soon.

^^He looks like death warmed over, but I believe Keith still has a pulse Groovy.

Absolutely! The Allman Brothers are amazing, I could listen to them forever.
