And I bet if you ask half the musicians today if they have heard of any of those names on that list (excluding the beatles guy) they wouldn't know who they were.
I thought of more
-Cliff Burton, Metallica
-drummer for Led Zeppelin
Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon.
Now that is funny. I just watched Papa Roach sing Last Resort live and during the middle of the song Jacoby was like "Start throwing **** at me. throw it now!"
