Rock music only. We can cover country, soul, hip/hop in another pole.

I’m embarrassed for you.
Why?
Honorable mentions: Bonham, Keith Moon, Freddie Mercury, Janis Joplin, Randy Rhodes.
It's hard as fuck. I nominate @dnc to do the rap couch sale pole.

This should be a run-off between Hendrix and Morrison. With all due respect to Bon Scott.
John Lennon ... I've never been able to there with the Beattles. And Lennon was obnoxious and unlikable.

I tend to agree. Hendrix and Morrison both were still at their artistic peak in 1970/71 and had a number of good years left in them. The last Doors album was damn near as good as the first.
Bon Scott on Back in Black would have been epic, but no offense to my homey @dflea I think AC DC takes one trick pony formula as far as they can with or without Bon by about 1981.
Cobain is probably my 3rd place here.
Lennon and Elvis both could have sold out stadiums in the 80s and a Beatles reunion could have been cool, but I don't know how much artistic juice they had left in the tank. Especially Elvis.
Staley is only here to prevent @dnc bullying.

If you died doing some pussy shit like suicide, getting shot (like a BITCH) or a plane crash, you don’t deserve to be on this list. HTH.
Then don't vote for them. We have plenty of drugs and alcohol deaths to chose from here.
Perfect is the enemy of good. Such is life with Vanilla and 10 spots.
Otis is in the soul pole.

Norm Gifs are best Gifs.
Navy Brats gonna Navy brat.
I went Allman as he was only 24 and I think the youngest of the 4 on that list that did not kill themselves. Suicide/drug ODs are sad but but self-induced, death by accidental means is tragic.
Boy do I sound like an asshole
Some cow-orkers and I spent a year generating the all-inclusive list of dead musicians - I wish I still had that, it was actually very ugly. We included age and method of death.

Change my vote to Michael Hutchence.
Anybody who hung themselves whacking off when they could have been banging Kylie Minogue is a goddamned Greek tragedy.
