    The Clash - Joe Strummer (times 10,000)

    leaving space ... as it's not even close with any other band ...





    also ...


    Morphine - Mark Sandman
    Joy Division - Ian Curtis


    someone should mention The Beatles - John Lennon ... but, I can't say I miss them NEARLY as much as The Clash.

    Michael Hutchence, Joe Strummer, and Bon Scott. I miss the Clash most of all and there's no other lead singer like JS.

    people really nead to realize his solo work, with "the Mescaleros" is so damn good ... some of the most underrated work ever ... he's so good on these albums.

    Rumor has it, the Clash agreed to reunite at Coachella 2003 ... but, Strummer died in Dec of 2002 ... man, I would have shat my pants seeing the Clash reunited. One of the most heartbreaking non-reunions ever.

    The Clash/ The Mescaleros , I saw both, and The Doors. About the doors, I saw VH1 Classic albums about The Doors self-titled first album. A reminder of the lyric genius of The Lizard king.

    Right on.All of you are right.And yeah Joe Strummer was something else.That Christmas card he sent out right before his death that's just very sad.

    Wasn't Joe Strummer originally slated to open a bunch of pj shows back in 2003 before he passed? I swear I read that somewhere, so I'm just double checking.

    Shirley Strachan ~ Skyhooks.

    I miss him nearly every day even now.
    I cried when he died and it still makes me sad to think he's gone even now.
    Even after their 4 billion reunion tours :p, it's just would not be the same without Shirl. Irreplaceable.
    I'm still trying to recover from whatever idiot thought it would be a good idea to get Daryl Braithwaite from Sherbert to do vocals for Skyhooks at The Countdown Arena Spectacular. :mad: :rolleyes: Some things are just wrong and I know you old school Aussies will know what I mean. :) Shouldn't have happened.

    Bon Scott ~ AC/DC

    I still love AC/DC but the Brian Johnson stuff doesn't hold a candle to the Bon era as far as I'm concerned. Bon was a master, an amazing performer, a true rock god and when he died AC/DC died with him for me.

    Michael Hutchence ~ INXS

    Loved INXS before they became megastars and Michael was always a very charismatic and unique performer. I still remember being in a record store the day his death hit the media and one of my girlfriends called to say. It was a truly sad moment and no matter what INXS do now, EVEN when they've had Jon Stevens front them (and believe me I have 0% criticism for that amazing bloke) it's just not quite right. Nobody can replace Michael.

    And he's not really a band, but when Harry Chapin died we really lost somebody special there too.
    NOPE!!!

    Alice in Chains and Blind Melon. If we're talking dead solo artists of recent, Jeff Buckley!

    those 4 bands are some of my favorites.

    AIC, Sublime and The Doors....I would sell a kidney to be able to see Morrison's drunk ass at 65
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    It makes sense. I saw Big Audio Dynamite open for PJ during the Vitalogy tour. That would have been a great show.

    Regardless of AIC's current status, I miss the old band because I miss Layne.

    Both The Clash and the Mesceleroes (is that spelling right - doens't liek right, oh well). Had the honour of seeing Joe about a month before he passed away, I remeber exactly where I was when I heard the news - still heartbreaking! RIP Joe.

    Also Alice in Chains, would have liked the chance to see them live back in the day.
