Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted March 29, 2016 I set this challenge at the beginning of the thread to INH but kept thinking about it and have done the deed myself. Listed below are twenty big pop stars who have NOT been picked in 2016 for DDP. I am not saying they are ill but any deaths from this list would be a shock Neil Diamond Phil Collins Kate Bush Noddy Holder Chrissie Hynde Debbie Harry Annie Lennox Roy Wood Jeff Lynne Donny Osmond Andy Bell Bob Geldof Suzi Quatro Brian Eno Barry Gibb Elton John Leo Sayer Cat Stevens Gladys Knight Julio Iglesias 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TodayandTomorrow Posted March 29, 2016 Some names: Stevie Wonder Mariah Carey One u2 member Kylie Minogue Nick Cave Madonna (yes her death will shock many people) Adele (she will remembered as Amy Winehouse was) In my list I'd add Mylene Farmer, an enigmatic French singer who released a song with Sting months ago.

ImNotHades 207 Posted April 21, 2016 RIP Prince 1958 - 2016. A true shock and truly a huge loss. Congrats on who voted for him (there was only one vote). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scraggy Taters 290 Posted April 21, 2016 Nobody mentioned here that Emile Ford (he of What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For ?) died today. Maybe they'll send his coffin off on a slow boat to China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,150 Posted April 21, 2016 I'd give the highest chance of a freak death (in more than one way) to Prince. It's about time for him to go so that even his later work receives some kind of critical (over-)appraisal, as it happened with Jackson and maaaybe Bowie (though some of the newer stuff is fantastic as well and the last album was a cultural milestone). Nice one, GC! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImNotHades 207 Posted April 21, 2016 We all agree that when a superstar like Prince dies, we start to love them. Although I love his older music, now that he's on the metal table I kinda feel sorry for him. But, that's life. He lived it to the fullest. He's a legend now. Long live Prince. I agree with few of you, George Michael is next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'm sorry, but I never liked Prince, and I won't be rushing out to buy his music now. He wrote a few brilliant songs, but they were much better performed by other people IMO. I didn't like his whiny voice and I found him so physically repulsive that his overtly sexual lyrics were nauseating. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
