Which celeb who has died do you think is most missed

[Jukebox Jury]

Nobody really cared about Heath Ledger til he died, tbf....

Like I watched 'A Knights Tale' with my kids..... next thing he is dead and everyone is raving about him

Jukebox Jury

 

[alma matters]

Strummer, Cash, Lennon, Cobain.

 

[Emotional Guide Dog]

Kirsty MacColl.

Oh & someone mentioned Linda Smith earlier, I agree.

 

[TrueToYou]

Erm, this might be controversial but James Dean?
Kenneth Williams, he knew what it meant to be English.
With people like Ian Curtis I think the legacy wouldn't be as great if it was more albums. It is sad he took his own life but at least it means the back catalogue he was involved in was near flawless.

Hitler - he was mad craic. Some good news on TV if he was still around!

I like a joke more than most people but I think you may have pushed the boat a bit far out of the harbour with this.

 

[Hellie]

Steve Irwin.

I loved watching him on Saturday mornings with my kids.

Good one. I was genuinely, unexpectedly sad when he died.

I wish that Phil Ochs was still alive, he died too young. I miss Utah Phillips, but he lived to a good age, so I don't wish he was still alive.

I wish that Phil Ochs was still alive, he died too young. I miss Utah Phillips, but he lived to a really good age, so I don't wish he was still alive.

I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night
Alive as you and me
Says I to Phil "You're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he
"I never died" says he

The music business killed you Phil
They ignored the things you said
And cast you out when fashions changed
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"

The FBI harassed you Phil
They smeared you with their lies
Says he "But they could never kill
What they could not compromise
I never compromised"

"Though fashion's changed and critics sneered
The songs that I have sung
Are just as true tonight as then
The struggle carries on
The struggle carries on"

With the song of freedom rings out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for their rights
Phil Ochs is with us still
Phil Ochs inspires us still

I miss Tim Russert

 

[Will_Never_Marry]

I miss David

 

[biru]

Either Jeff Buckley or Marc Bolan... I feel he would've been great in the eighties... if he'd had the chance

 

[Mars_Rover]

Erm, this might be controversial but James Dean?

That's not controversial, it makes perfect sense - no one deserves to go at 24. I feel the same way about River Phoenix, how appallingly premature to die at 23. So much unfulfilled potential.

For me though, most missed: Jim Morrison

 

[emma1979]

Man dying as such a young age, is a crime..

 

[Practising Troublemaker]

Joe Strummer would be my choice.

I would also say John Peel.

Love PTxx.

 

[Our Lady]

William Melvin Hicks. The others were supposed to die.

 

[McLovin]

Rob Pilatus

Rob Pilatus

I had to google him
