Nick Cave

Leonard Cohen?

You don?t have to pay ?450.00 to take a blood test to know, when you are going to die just listen to Leonard Cohen music that will do it for free. Michael Jackson with all his faults and peccadilloes was a musical genius.

[HonaloochieB]

Nash the Slash and Foster-Pilkington.

That's right. Despite all his little faults (getting children drunk, putting porn on and teaching them how to masturbate etc etc) he sure turned-out some great tunes.

It's good to read (via the fundraising link at the bottom of the http://www.efdss.org/news/newsId/150 article) that Norma Waterson's out of hospital at last.

Crikey ianr, you're on the ball :) I didn't know that!

In case you're wondering (which you probably weren't), I included the other two Watersons because of their (very different but both brilliant) songwriting, not because of their singing ......

Fred Schneider-Ricky Wilson

Died day before yesterday :-S

Obituary here :(

Amazing songwriter and singer, both solo and with others. And a bloody nice bloke as well.

Best version of Tamlyn I've ever heard in my life, makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

R.I.P.

Phillip Henry.

You won't have heard of him yet, but you will.

First guitarist since I first saw Bert Jansch around 1965 to literally make my jaw drop. And sit there with my mouth hanging open.

F-ing amazing slide.

[KidKruger]

I know Phillip Henry, not bad I suppose...

Sonny Boy Williamson

Doc Watson

Dock Boggs

Roscoe Holcomb
