oah come on now... none of these legends

John Lennon and Michael Jackson definitely had the most people mourning them. Im going with Lennon just because I like The Beatles than I do Jackson

2pac is still alive why is he on the list?

uggh fine i would hange it to marvin gaye but i cant

Biggie, hands down. The others had already made their contributions to music.auron_16

yea thats what i was thinking but cobain though he could have changed music forever he was only 27

The lack of Elvis is more than disturbing; poll fails.jalexbrown

elvis is not on here most of us were not alive

epic fail for you!!!

I've always wondered what music would be like right now if Cobain were still alive.

Out of all those I pick John Lennon even though he is very overrated but since I don't care about the rest list I pick him. Going off the poll for a second though I personally think Frank zappa was a huge loss to the industry since there has not been anyone else like him since.

John Lennon was awesome :( Should have put George Harrison up too but I guess you can only fit so much in a poll :P

im sorry im human!

Well, I eliminate rap by default. That leaves 3 choices. I'll try to ignore all of the general weirdness of Jackson and just focus on his music. Well, he had one good album I guess, and even that I don't have any desire to own, because while it might be the best pop album ever put out, it's still a pop album at the end of the day. That leaves Cobain and Lennon, and I would say that Cobain was a greater loss to music*, but Lennon a greater loss just as a person.

*The Beatles put out more signficant work than Nirvana of course, but Lennon's post-Beatles work mostly doesn't do a ton for me.

Michael Jackson was borderline irrelevant when he died from a musical standpoint. The only reason he was still in the news was because of his appetite for little boys, his ever-changing appearance, and his otherwise erratic behavior. Tupac and Biggie were never good in the first place. Cobain was a big loss because I think he still had a lot to accomplish as a musician. Lennon was obviously the most accomplished of the group, and I think the biggest loss there is that we never got to see a Beatles reunion tour.savebattery

[QUOTE="diegosanchezMMA"]

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"] So because most were not alive, that means that somehow Elvis magically didn't have a meaningful impact on music for us?CRS98

agreed the deserve credit im not a fan of rap....but think if they were alive how diffrent rap would be

[QUOTE="diegosanchezMMA"]

[QUOTE="CRS98"] It's also funny how John Lennon died 3 years after Elvis, yet he puts both BIG and 2Pac on the poll.

I wouldn't say anybody really. There's no guarantee that they would continue to make great music. Their iinfluence is what they already created.
