it's possible he hasn't been mentioned because he's not dead. :lol:

Well you could have fooled me.:laugh:

Jim Morrison, I always think of him as the male counterpart to Stevie.

[mylittledemon]

Lennon, no doubt... I can only imagine what the Beatles reunion in the 90s would've been like with him.

A close second is Freddie... I really think Queen would still be making records if he were alive. :distress:

Like the old George Jones tune goes ."Who's gonna fill their shoes".

Nobody today will.

Not sure if she's classified as a rock star, but Amy Winehouse was certainly taken before her time, and I think there was a lot of incredible music left in her.

As far as true rock stars, I guess I'd have to go for John Lennon. Not because I'm a Beatles fan, or a fan of his solo works. I can't really say I'm a fan of either. But the man was so utterly progressive in his time. Songs like Imagine are more relavent today than ever. I'm inclined to guess he'd be involved in all sorts of fantastic humanitarian causes if he were still around. This comes across as completely stupid since he was just a rock star, but I can't help but think the world might just be a better place if he were still in it.

Karen Carpenter. There was so, so much more to be heard from that voice.

What a voice .Karen was my dads favorite.He loved all of her tunes.Now they are in the same place .she's singing to him in heaven.

I wonder how her brother Richard is doing.

I also enjoy the Carpenters music.Nice music to relax to.
