Objectively it’s probably either Kobe or Maradona. Personally though it’s commentator Michael Brooks.

Thanks! I think is a pretty decent and fair list!

 

A lot of the others list are simply stupid...

if they don't include Maradona for the month of November they should be automatically excluded\banned... only because they don't like Maradona and they are still angry  thinking about the hand of god goal.... please grow up guys

Maradona was one of the most important football player and influential people of the XX  century

Banned from what exactly?

Having an opinion? Because it doesn't happen to match yours?

It's been stated more than once, 'significant' is subjective.

[Ulitzer95 12,558]

Significant deaths to date this year, so far...

Big names on a worldwide fame level: Phil Spector (and the only name I'd consider a "DL miss" to date)

Other notable mentions: Gerry Marsden, Tanya Roberts, Albert Roux, Colin Bell, Michael Apted, Tommy Lasorda, Sheldon Adelson, Siegfried Fischbacher, Sylvain Sylvain

2/3 of the way through Jan. Not exactly encouraging given that Jan is generally the coldest and harshest month in terms of death numbers in the northern hemisphere.

It's only mid-January so far, though I agree Phil Spector has been the biggest name to date...

 

I would add Barbara Shelley as well.  She's considered the original Scream Queen and Hammer's most famous leading lady!  

And though she's not really mainstream, Julie Strain's death hit me hard.  For those of a certain age, we grew up watching Julie Strain's movies on cable, and she was a Goddess!

Hmmm... I don’t think either of them are in the same ballpark.

 

I used the “2021” page on Wikipedia. Names listed there need to have a minimum of 9 international Wiki pages for notability standards.

[John Robinson 71]

Here’s my list of the most significant death of each month in 2021.

January: Larry King

February: Rush Limbaugh

March: Marvin Hagler 

April: Prince Philip 

May: B.J. Thomas

June: Ned Beatty (Slow month)

July: Dusty Hill

August: Ed Asner

September: Norm Macdonald (Slow month)

October: Colin Powell (Slow month as well)

November: Stephen Sondheim (Slow month)

December: Betty White/John Madden

That’s all for the year...

Here’s my list of the most significant death of each month in 2021 for right now.

January: Larry King

 

 

January: Larry King and Hank Aaron.  Aaron is considered one of the most well known baseball players ever.  

 

We also lost Cicely Tyson, Cloris Leachman, and Phil Spector. 

 

but unlike in years past, so far, all the major celebrities we've lost were old timers.  We haven't lost any major young celebrities in January, so maybe it's a sign that 2021 is better already...granted the bar is low...

 

Or not...now that there's some crazy shit going on in Myanmar...

Are you forgetting Sophie?

I don't think Sophie's all that well known?  At least not in America...hardly social media is talking about her death...

 

Young artists who are well known get their names flooded on the likes of Twitter, but hardly any young people (at least in America) are mentioning her.  

 

Juice WRLD for example, Twitter and social media feeds blew up when he died.  Even Smoke Pop (another rapper) got a lot of love on social media when he died.  

 

Then again, in America, young people tend to gravitate towards hip hop and EDM, with young white people in the rural midwest and south gravitating towards country...

You mean again Pop Smoke, not Smoke Pop! Correction haha!

[Toast 16,112]

Phil Spector for me.  No contest.  Hugely influential on popular music.

I'm an old timer, so I know very little about these Generation Z hip hop artists...

 

You might as well be speaking hieroglyphics to me when talking about hip hop and rap music nowadays.  I grew up in the era of B.I.G., Public Enemy, and 2Pac, so I'm considered "old" to these young'ins...  

 

Put it this way, Kurt Cobain is as relevant to them as Buddy Holly was to me...  

[time 8,581]

Most significant death for USAians ought to be Brian Sicknick.

I used to have this on cassette, along with Phil Spector's Christmas Album which was free with it.  Early 80s, I think.
