  • suxmonkey, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10Wow, awesome list. Extra props for a number of artists I didn't know about previously (and for any post that mentions my man Jimmy!).
    • jasz, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I wonder if the author meant German Sniper instead of French sniper on #20: Charles Sorley or if it was an accidental shot.
  • optimusprime01, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10Great list. It's sad to see such great talent short lived.
  • AManWithNoName, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Great list, but I was expecting more ARTIST artists, instead of musical and film artists...But I do agree, the world would be much better if these people weren't taken away so early.
    BTW, I didn't know Buddy Holly was so young when the plane crash happened...
  • markopyhajarvi, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5River Phoenix was a cool kid. Sad that he died so young.
  • israelonblog, on 03/19/2008, -1/+3damn, i lost the chance to enter the list...
  • Member148, on 03/19/2008, -0/+6Makes you think about how the road map to life has many forks in the road. Choosing the right path is determined by the wisdom you gain along the way.
  • louiebaur, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5Kurt Cobain was a good person to add to that list its a shame he isn't still rocking
  • mshifley, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Definitely would have like to seen Kurt Cobain last a little longer. Hearing Nirvana for the first time is something I will never forget.
  • edborden, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1These are all pretty old school. Interesting article though
  • xavierhp, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2great post!!
  • DarkSamus, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1Layne Staley missed the list by 4 years,
