[Sean 6,309]

Went for Glen Campbell.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Campbell, bien sûr.

[ImNotHades 207]

i forgot to write my rules........people on the list are big names, it's more fun that way, so no unknown pictureless drummers or irrelevant guitarists or so and they need to be at least 75

[Bibliogryphon 9,562]

I looked at the list and narrowed it down to four names Glen Campbell, Aretha Franklin, Brian Wilson & Joni Mitchell.

 

Picked Glen. Just like everyone else.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

What a needless thread. My one and only post in't.

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

Tony Bennett.

[maryportfuncity 10,630]

Vera

I can live with that.

when glen and vera die, the choice will be bigger......but you never know who's hiding something

Considering the shock that Bowie generated maybe you should take a different approach. Find 20 names of artists in the age range 55-70 who aren't DDP picks and then do a poll to decide who is going to be the next big shock.

And if i toss out Vera and Glen?

[Davey Jones' Locker 1,324]

I'll punt on Joni, even though, like everyone else, I think it will be Glen or Vera.

[ImNotHades 207]

isn't it exciting now that there are 2 easy choices but yet again they all are old and are/were sick, mark my words someone else will die before Glen and Vera

Told you so.

[Davey Jones' Locker 1,324]

You may want to consider adding Leo Marjane, Charles Aznavour and Juliette Greco to your list. Although French, I think their international fame is such that you'd probably find them warranted.

Okay. At 103, Leo's likely to be the next to drop though!

I accidentally removed the poll. This is just a thread now because I can't add it again....
