I gotta stop reading Rolling Stone. This Top 10 Greatest Dead Rock Stars list is kinda morbid.
It's also utterly predictable. Like, you would have come up with the same list - and the same sequence. It would have been, dare I say it, dead easy.
Sorry.
Here's the list:
1. John Lennon
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Jim Morrison
5. Elvis
6. Freddie Mercury
7. Janis Joplin
8. George Harrsion
9. John Bonham
10. Keith Moon
It would be interesting to see who numbers 11, 12 and 13 were. 25 years ago Buddy Holly would have made the list, as would Duanne Allman (not sure who else). It's not surprising that Kurt Cobain, Freddie and George pushed them off the list. But it does beg the question: who on this list could be pushed off? At this point, some of them are almost more famous for being dead than for being rock stars.
Better stop. This is definitely morbid.
