I don't know why you all are picking Chuck. He probably wasn't going to write any more material for Death and his other band Control Denied (based off of their one and only album) was pretty mediocre. As for my list, it's going to be a bit long.
John Bonham
Jeff Buckley
Kurt Cobain
Jimi Hendrix
Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon)
John Lennon
Bob Marley
Freedie Mercury
Keith Moon (The Who)
Jim Morrison
Bradley Nowell (Sublime)
Elvis Presley
Randy Rhoads
Bon Scott (AC/DC)
The Notorious B.I.G.
Tupac Shakur
Layne Staley
Ronnie Van Zant (Skynyrd)
Going to have to finish my list later, need to do some shit.
