I voted for Freddy Mercury. Last week I played the DVD 'Live at the Wembley stadium'. Unique, his intervention with the audience.

Would like to add Jeff Porcaro, the drummer of Toto who died in the early 90's.

I put Freddie Mercury, as  was brought up on Queen.  As well as Dire Straits, Status Quo, various 80's music.

But mostly Queen.

;D

Must admit I'm going through a bit of a Quo renaissance with all the recent remasters  ;D

"Love Over Gold" is one of the truely great albums of all time too (IMHO, naturally)  ;)

;D

'Love Over Gold' is a great album...

"Industrial Disease" is a fantastic track.  Shame it wasn't on the live 'Alchemy' album though!  It was played though because you can hear the end of it on one of the tracks.

"Telegraph Road" is also excellent!  The guitar solo is pretty damn good too! ;D

I voted Freddy Mercury, that was the last one which I remembered that died, and made a whole band stop playing. But I would also mention Kurdt Kobain, a great singer with a unique style.
Yes Jimmy Hendrix was also a great guitar player, but I had to choose, makes it difficult, but he died so many years ago, that it's like Rembrand who died, so that made me choos for Freddy

Freddie, a unique person and voice.
No doubt he was! My no 1 vocalist of all times. Irreplacable. I read somewhere that a UK rock radiostation recently made a poll for best vocalist, bassist, guitarist and so on...and  Freddie was second after Robert Plant (In fact most of them were British ;D)

Who is Robert Plant? Never heard of the guy, for such a good singer he must have been more famous. Good vocalists what to think of the Arenasingers, Fish, Steve Hogarth. I think it's just a question of taste at that level, I'd rather hear Rob Sowden or Steve Hogarth than Freddie, I even always was more font of Bryan Mays voice than Freddies. But Yes Bryan May had a more simple voice than Freddie.

No kiddin' you dont know Robert? ;) Oh... no worry, maybe that's because Led Zeppelin isnt (wasnt) such a progressive band ;D I love May maybe not for his vocal but his voice fit very well in these famous multi-leyer Queen choirs, together with Rog and Fred. In fact most of my fav Q. songs were written by Brian (like Who wants to live forever) However, he did quite good job on his solo albums, also vocally!

I find this kind of topic difficult............. who is to say that the dearly departed had not already played/written/recorded their finest work, that they would not have 'bummed' out had they lived..........however unlieky this might sound!

i voted for John Lennon......... because his death touched me more than the others.......
but I kinda believe in destiny, and the guys had given us their masterpieces before their untimely deaths.

Yes I know Led Zeppelin, who doesn't, I never knew that Robert Plant was the singer of that band. I also have a Led Zeppelin CD, but I never looked at who the bandmembers are. Mostly I'm not so interested in bandmembers, unless they went solo, than I recognize them, sorry.

I voted for John Lennon. Since i had the luxury to listen to Spocks beard's Beware of darkness, i have become a huge fan of the beatles. Don't know why, but their music just hits me.

I voted for Jimi Hendrix, as he set the bench mark for successive generations of guitarists.  I'd have voted for Sandy Denny if she'd been included.

Obscyra

I voted for Freddie Mercury although John Lennon was very close. Both had an impact on me somehow.

I like Telegraph road as well but I don't like Industrial Disease, I can only agree not too put a live version on Alchemy, waste of space on the record

But Mark Knopfler is still alive although Dire Straits hasn't brought out a new album since on every street
