You never know what the future has in store, perhaps they'll all be ignored in favour of the New York Dolls or PIL or Miles Davis or anybody, we don't know. We have a habit in this culture of confidently predicting the future and saying what will an 'all time great'...
Look at Alex Chilton and Scott Walker: they have trouble holding on to record contracts, yet they are highly regarded. For God's sake don't go with what the music business deam to be the best, Neil Young and Bob Dylan are still commercially viable, if only for nostalgic reasons...
-
It has been suggested that Dylan's legacy would live on way past his death and that he would be regarded in the same terms as Shakespeare in 300 or so years time. I not quite sure of that. In 300 years time, music historians would probably regard the music of that period as much the same, with Dylan subtly distinguishable from Donovan or Neil Young...

That Avitar picture of John Harvey-Jones reminds me, is he still alive, should he be on the list?

Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart)
Genius musician and artist.
Suffered from MS for years.
Could bow out at a round 65....

Well maninblack - I have to admit that research for the DeathList was way tougher back in those pre-internet days of 1989.You're, of course, right that Wilfrid Brambell (correct spelling) died several years before being selected for the 1989 list. Probably helps explain why we only had 3 successes that year
Thats very true. We live in the information age and I can see how the results have improved.
At the years end I'll put up my own list on who's going to snuff it in '06 for your consideration....
-
Funnily enough, I made a quick guess before I took part in the Deathclock. 2015 I thought. The result: 20/12/2016!And I'll miss Christmas too!
(actually, that's probably not a bad thing.....)

I've looked through some of the old lists.
1989.
Wilfred Bramble: didn't you folks know he had died? Now that would have been remarkable
-
My mug of tea of course!
-
Who has been the youngest on the list, and who's the youngest death?

If ever there was anyone that embodied the phrase 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth', it was Simon Wiesenthal.
Mind you, I bet he had less than satisfactory co-operation from the Yanks, they were quite keen to hang on to a few Nazis....

Nearest I get to the telly is when I've got the remote in my handThat's interesting because when I watch TV, I have something in my hand as well.......

Surely one of the Deathlisters have are or going to work in Television.
Lets pitch it guys & gals...

I've got eleven years left to live...
...I'm not even 30 yet!

If only Nixon had gone ahead and "Dropped the big one on Hanoi"!I understand, the thought crossed his mind but Kissenger talked him out of it.
Perhaps that would have kept people in their place.
Or at least their shadows anyway..........

That is true, rational deduction is the key and I'm the king of rational deduction.
Lets see......er...Blair! He's bound to go, someone will have the balls to kill him off sooner or later....
Is that objective enough?
-
With 3 months or so to go before the list for 2006 is published, I want to know what the procedure is for compiling the list.
Is it an internal discussion between the keepers of the Deathlist flame or is the voting open to all comers. like John Peel's old Festive Fifty, leaving some poor sod with the responsibility of counting the votes?
Incidentally, I think there's some TV potential with the Deathlist, it would blow 20 stone of S**t (whatever it's called) and the like out of the water!

And how accurate are the dreams you have about bedroom antics with the ladies then? 'cause when I have such things, and I wake up, it's always Mrs. Beatle next to me, snoring!Yeah, and a damp nighty probably!

Oh by the way Lord Janner was paying tribute and didn't look quite the ticket.....

Suggestion for tagline:
Last Night of the Hunter!

Jade Goodys dad has been found dead in a toilet from a drug overdose aged 42How about that! He died having a KFC in KFC!
-
They all should have died in a plane crash in around 1972 or something - it would have ensured Rock immortality, putting them above the Beatles and spared us the spectacle of the 'strolling bones' tottering across the planet in 2017 or whatever!

Ahem, excuse me but aren't we on a forum for a site which monitors famous people who are going to snuff it? This website is the fulcrum of morbid curiousity at the very least, so its double standards to whine about distastefulness. If you want taste, this isn't the site for you....

Remind me again what happened...

I wouldn't like it if Pete Doherty died anytime soon, it would mean all that business with stark NME covers and 'legend dies' cobblers you get when someone in rock music snuffs it.
To me, Pete Doherty is a sort of Sid Vicious type character, with Kate Moss as the parasitical (more more sussed) Nancy Spungeon.....

I've never rated Crosby. There's that famous picture of CSN&Y at Woodstock with Joni Mitchell and there was Crosby looking so pleased with himself!
He was always the least talented of the Byrds: McGuinn was the best...
