A tribute...........Artists gone before their time.

Warren Zevon, although his music is pretty hit or miss.....WEREWOLVES OF LONDON!

Didn't Selena die at 23? Damn thats young.

Jimmie Rodgers was only 35 when he died of T.B. He was so influential in his short life that countless artists were jacking his singing style and doing there best to claim his top spot in the music industry. It's a tragedy that he died so young, but he took advantage of the situation and recorded some of his best work from his deathbed.

80 years later, you can still here his influence in modern music.

Irrelevant. He died young.

[Udokafan05]

Irrelevant. He died young.

I just figured this was for artists who still made music when they died.

I roll deep with Peter Tosh, but I can't believe he made the list before Marley did.

Chris Whitley

man, I didn't even know he was gone. way back a long time ago I picked up his Din of Ecstasy CD... but I never continued to follow him by getting any other CDs.

[lebomb]

tupac and biggie have to share an entry on this list? Damn you're black, so why the racism?

They off'd each other

Marley was the pretty boy, I prefer Tosh by quite a bit.

I believe there will be a do entary on him coming out sometime this year. Can't say I was a huge fan of his "grunge" period, but the guy had a of a voice, and made some original music during the pop music doldrums of the early 90s.
