Life is WAY too short. They left their mark on the world, I hope I left my small mark on my grandchildren! This is NOT the world I wanted to leave them.
We've lost some good ones this year and sadly many are now of an age where it's gong to get worse. Treasure their music and the memories forever and let them live on that way.
I grew up listening to The best of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, over and over again on a crappy little one speaker tape deck. It never bored me, and the more I listened to it and the older I got, the more I was able to appreciate his lyrical and tonal poetry. Vocal idiosyncrasies aside, he was a master songwriter, capable of moments of fascinating and genuine beauty hidden within what appeared to be a throwaway pop song. The Pyschomodo is his best album in my opinion, and I was listening to it the day I heard that he had passed away. I had always hoped to meet him and talk to him about those records, but, sadly, that won't happen now. It is my mission in life to introduce as many people as I can to his music, in the hope that they find something worthwhile there, the way I did all those years ago.
What will tear me up the most is when Grace Slick & Jimmy Page have to leave the building for the last time. I owe them both so much. To all musicians, Thank You. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
But I often imagine her in pop culture on the Voice or AGT and blowing everyone away!! We’re talking a real person with beyond real talent and authenticity!
Music is the soul of the universe - RIP to each & everyone 😕 PS: sad to see Mike Pinder go he was such an integral member of the Moody Blues, a band probably not held in as high esteem as they should be - their Isle of Wight performance was phenomenal
The Moody Blues virtually invented cosmic progressive rock. One of the most important bands in history. Days Of Future Passed is up there with Sgt Peppers and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn as being one of the greatest albums of all time.
Wonderful tribute. While we all die at some point, just knowing that we will die never takes away the sadness that comes with losing those we knew and loved- and even losing those we only knew of. It'd be nice if we could all make it to at least 80.
Nah.Goes against the very ethos of rock n roll.60 seems a good juncture before the aches and pains,infirmities start to manifest and a cursory glance at how the world has transpired from those 60's 70's aspirations/hopes ?......well i wouldn't want any part of being young again.
My grandson whose a big classic rock fan and collector of their vinyl told me he was so sad that when he was old enough to go to concerts there wouldn’t be any to go to. I checked and if you’re 7 or older you could get in. We sawREO speed wagon and Loverboy this weekend and he had the time of his life
Mike Pinder, who really introduced us, with The Moody Blues, to the mellotron and cosmic progressive rock saddens me the most. Also, Doug Ingle, from Iron Butterfly, who were criminally underrated. "Ball" is such a masterful psych album as is "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."
The Moody Blues GO NOW, not just a record but a key to all those memories of winter nights on the wild south coast if Ireland, trying to pick it up on Radio Luxemburg as it faded in and out😮.
This is life not a rehearsal. The passing of all these musos only brings one's own mortality into focus. End of a golden era of rock music too. Although that happened sometime ago excluding the inventiveness of commercial churning of the classic back catalogues. It's all hauntology nowadays as nothing seems able to replace the golden years. All just nostalgia now and replays of the post war dream. All now like a dream within a dream in this crazy world.
I’m afraid in many ways culturally rock is dead. Replaced by prefabricated “pop stars” like Taylor Swift and other just like her. It’s like musical cotton candy.
@@danielevans9379 Kann nicht zustimmen ! Wenn du Sina Döring (sina-drums) - 24 Jahre alt - kennst, dann wirst du eine andere Meinung haben, weil sie die Rock-/Blues-und Popmusik der 60'er/70'er und 80'er Jahre liebt und die Musiker aus dieser tollen Zeit sehr erfolgreich gecovert hat. Sie hat innerhalb von 10 Jahren mehr als 500 Videos produziert. Ausserdem hat sie mit ihrem Vater zusammen junge talentierte Musiker weltweit gefördert, die sich inzwischen auch einen Namen gemacht haben.
Thanks for a sad but beautiful tribute to these fine musicians who brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. It's a little frightening when you see the ages of some of these people. A little too close to home, so let's try and make the most of the time we have left and try to be nice to people ( EVEN IF SOME ARE COMPLETE TOSSERS ) especially as they probably think the same about us . Have a wonderful weekend. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
I'm with you @progbloke6655. First saw them in 1978, and they became my favourite band ever since. What a fantastic legacy as a songwriter Tony Clarkin has left us. Magnum forever!
Thanks to all for enhancing my life. It gets a little gloomy when you start recognizing that you've outlived about a third of such a list. The bell tolls for us all. Anyway, thanks again to the musicians.
Sad to see, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that most of these musicians were the first generation who grew up with Rock and Roll, and then went on like many teenagers to form bands. As the years pass the numbers will just get higher. It will come to us all
The Same for me .....I just learned it. I was an Ultravox fan, from my Highschool years....They made so great albums, & when I listen to Vienna (the song), it's always the Same Magic Moment !! RIP Chris Cross...
I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Pinder years ago. A very nice and warm hearted man. He was so integral to and for all intents and purposes the leader of the Moody Blues during the “Core 7” LP years.
I was going to comment that. I think he was more known for his time in Strawbs. The minute I saw he was gone, the intro to Autumn started playing in my head. I wonder if they played that at his funeral.
John Hawken also toured on keyboards with Spooky Tooth at end of 1970 European tour . The line-up was Harrison / Grosvenor / Hawken / Steve Thompson / Kellie . Promotional tour for " The last puff " album . But was not on the album ( Chris Stainton ) . Saw it .
So sad to learn that Del Palmer died from this list... I had a comment of his on my myspace page saying he liked something I posted once there... was very thrilled of course... someone who has been in my life for a very long time...
The most depressing thing I have seen. I know we all must leave the mortal coil, but none of us wishes to be reminded of our mortality. Still, thank you for remembering those musicians who brought something special into our lives.
Musicians who have played a part in one's life is always very sad to know they've passed! I played in The Mal Gray Band with John Hawken in the early Seventies, a lovely guy, amazing pianist and an expert Monopoly player! Rock on John!
Helix , great band ! From the great white north ! Greg Hinz . It's a long way to Heaven. May the Father bless you 🙏. And be with you, all here and now, in Jesus's holy name 🙏. I will not Consent
I wanted to be a classical musician when I first heard Eric Carmen’s songs and how he used classical piano solo inserted into his music. I thought, Wow this is what I wanted to become. Thanks for the inspiration, Eric Carmen!
Sad seeing those names, knowing you grew up when they were in the charts, especially Chris Cross of Ultravox, my all-time favourite band,I still can't believe he's no longer around. We're going to be left with the bin scrapings at this rate😢
If there's anything positive to be drawn from this, it's that there are no new members of the 27 club. RIP, all who are gone, and let's be thankful that most reached a pretty good age.
Sobering to read this: The chances of an accidental death for well-known musicians and rock stars were found to be between five and 10 times greater than for the general population. The average musician today lives into their late 50s or early 60s and has a life expectancy that is about 20 years lower than members of the general population.
Goodbye Gerry Conway - one of the great unsung hero musicians of British folk/rock music. There's one tiny bit of film available of him with Sandy Denny and Fotheringay on her 4-dc Live at the BBC box set, and he's brilliant. Unassuming guy. Worked with Jethro Tull as well, briefly.
Its hard watching my world disappear. RIP ALL.
We are sadly comeing to the end of the age of modern music ( a very big thankyou to each and every one of you )
At 68 these get a little harder to watch. I thank them for the music that will live on.
Goodbye, Melanie. Thank you for all your good tunes.
💔💔💔💔💔
She was such a peace loving musician
@@stevenbrowne4654 Like J. Lennon. An idealist.
Wow....Melanie. Loved her records in the 1970's
Life is WAY too short. They left their mark on the world, I hope I left my small mark on my grandchildren! This is NOT the world I wanted to leave them.
Beautiful tribute, the fact that this video took 8 minutes tells you all you need to know!! We are losing are musical heroes!!
A bit troubling that I'm older than most of them;-)
@@TheRealDrJoey me too!
And they are being replaced with absolute dross
We've lost some good ones this year and sadly many are now of an age where it's gong to get worse. Treasure their music and the memories forever and let them live on that way.
I am 71 and I see my world slightly disappear
I know that's right Brother🙌
My mom used to say the same. Sad, and I feel that way too. 😢 .
For me, I’m 62 and since the passing of Bowie, they are all going one after the others, my heroes of the seventies.
@@danlovingmusic1342 Likewise at 66. All those 70's rocker that I thought were superhuman...
Yeah man..

私たちの人生の最高の年！
Im 64. I remember Melanie and her big hit Brand New Key.
I got a pair of rollerskates. You got a brand new key
@Carolyn815 Yes Carolyn , I liked that song back in 1971/ 72
Time is fleeting. R.I.P. to all. Very emotional.
Looking at this at 65 makes me sad for sure. RIP to all those amazing talents. Thank you for the Music.
I know the feeling
What will tear me up the most is when Grace Slick & Jimmy Page have to leave the building for the last time. I owe them both so much. To all musicians, Thank You.

Melanie Safka, I will miss you and love you always!
All my heroes getting so old. Here I am 73 but surely I'll live to 109. All that longevity weed I smoked back in the day.
Great tribute. Melanie was a great spirit. Loved her voice.
Today, with pitch correction turning everything bland, a singer with a distinctive style like hers would never make it.
But I often imagine her in pop culture on the Voice or AGT and blowing everyone away!! We’re talking a real person with beyond real talent and authenticity!
Man, that's the most heartbreaking thing I've watched in a long time. I had no idea about some of these, especially Melanie.
We come. We go. Very sobering.

👍😇 Yes . Always treat others as you would like to be treated yourself !..
Did I blink and miss Johnny Barbata? He drummed with The Turtles, CSN&Y and Jefferson Starship.
Indeed, I miss him too here, he died on 8th of May, 79 years old. What a fine drummer!
So many people from bands I love.
Steve Harley was my hero when I was a teenager, he was an amazing writer and performer..
An absolutely beautiful tribute, and makes me realize that I have so much more to learn about music and the musicians that made it. Thank you.
Time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me.....Mick Taylor.
The loss of Tony Clarkin hit me hard. The end of Magnum, a band I've followed since 1979.
I'm with you @progbloke6655. First saw them in 1978, and they became my favourite band ever since. What a fantastic legacy as a songwriter Tony Clarkin has left us. Magnum forever!
@@niallstranix5412 Absolutely.
Same with me with Jeff Beck he was my guitar god
R.I.P. to all, play on in Heaven 🎉
And the ice in the mountains is melting, never thought I would see this when I was a young mountaineer
missing
Myles Goodwin - April Wine
Jim Ayoub - Mahogany Rush
Lillebjørn Nilsen (1950-2024). Norwegian singer-songwriter. Died in January
Mahogany Rush deserved a lot more sales than they ever got. Frank Moreno was a phenom.
Bob Tench from the Jeff Beck Group, also Hummingbird and Humble Pie
Love April Wine....
Myles Goodwin died in December last year.
Thanks to all for enhancing my life. It gets a little gloomy when you start recognizing that you've outlived about a third of such a list. The bell tolls for us all. Anyway, thanks again to the musicians.
I haven't heard of a lot of these people. Most of the ones I know are already gone. Life is fleeting to be sure.
I miss one of the best German Rock composers, Ulrich "Ed" Swillms. Rest in peace
Sad to see, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that most of these musicians were the first generation who grew up with Rock and Roll, and then went on like many teenagers to form bands. As the years pass the numbers will just get higher. It will come to us all
How did I know that Steve Harley passed, but not Chris Cross?! Ultravox was my favorite band in the 80s!
The Same for me .....I just learned it. I was an Ultravox fan, from my Highschool years....They made so great albums, & when I listen to Vienna (the song), it's always the Same Magic Moment !! RIP Chris Cross...
Big shock for me. I saw Ultravox live at Poole Arts Centre in the early 80's 🎸🎸
I didn’t know Mike Pinder died. The Moody Blues are one of my favorite bands from the 60s. 😢
And Steve Harley!?!?! Where have I been?
C J Snare (Firehouse), Toby Keith R.I.P.
Excellent work here. Very appreciated.
May Dennis Thompson rest in peace with his brothers; Fred, Rob, Wayne, and Michael. We won't forget the Motor City 5.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Pinder years ago. A very nice and warm hearted man. He was so integral to and for all intents and purposes the leader of the Moody Blues during the “Core 7” LP years.
Eine der besten Bands 'ever' !
What a memory to hold on to
John Hawken (also incredible keyboardist for Strawbs)
I was going to comment that. I think he was more known for his time in Strawbs. The minute I saw he was gone, the intro to Autumn started playing in my head. I wonder if they played that at his funeral.
John Hawken also toured on keyboards with Spooky Tooth at end of 1970 European tour .

Promotional tour for " The last puff " album . But was not on the album ( Chris Stainton ) .
Saw it .

Lovely, puts it in focus.
Few people know Frank Farian. But many people know Boney M.
R I P Keith. Truly a unique percussionist.
Doug Ingle, the last living member from the In-a-gadda-da-vida/Ball lineup, is now gone. The Iron Butterfly 🦋 now soars into the heavens.
Yeah, I love The Iron Butterfly. Light and flowery as well as dark and heavy. The best of all worlds. Soar on mighty butterfly.
I remember many of these in their primes. Time stands still for no one.
The musicians may fade away but good music's hear to stay all these people lived to reasonably good ages as well
Tony Clarkin was a huge loss for me. I saw Magnum at Reading Festival in 1980 and they were fantastic. R.I.P to all featured here.
Lovely tribute.
So many of the greats that has passed on. Only the memories remain 😢
Russell Hunter - Pink Fairies.
The most depressing thing I have seen. I know we all must leave the mortal coil, but none of us wishes to be reminded of our mortality. Still, thank you for remembering those musicians who brought something special into our lives.
Without Christ, most people sadly only have the burning pits of hell to look forward to after death.
Both Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson of the MC5? Wow. They're all gone. 😢
We still have 7 months of the year to go, as of this video and my comment. How many more times will we say goodbye before the year is through?
Chris Karrer- great guitarist and as psychedelic as you can be without actually exploding. For latecomers Try Amon Düül 2's 'Carnival in Babylon'.
RIP to all. Sad to lose so many great musicians.
Mike Pinder, Dickey Betts, Melanie really hurts
I will miss Melanie forever!
Change is the only constant. Life IS change.
Rip Chris, I loved Amon Duul 2
Amongst all these greats, a little shout out for Karl Wallinger, what an amazing song writer RIP Karl
It's like we knew these beautiful people personally. How they enhanced all our lives is immeasurable ❤RIP to all ❤
Now I've not heard of Eleanor Collins , will definitely be checking out her music !
104 years old !
And a very handsome looking woman !
It's official,the MC5 has reunited in heaven,we just lost DENNIS THOMPSON,may they all R.I.P.😢

Nice work.
NB: Paul English 1932/2024 was either 91 or 92, not 87.
Also Dean Brown 69?
If there's anything positive to be drawn from this, it's that there are no new members of the 27 club. RIP, all who are gone, and let's be thankful that most reached a pretty good age.
Let's celebrate their music, not their death !
Sobering to read this: The chances of an accidental death for well-known musicians and rock stars were found to be between five and 10 times greater than for the general population. The average musician today lives into their late 50s or early 60s and has a life expectancy that is about 20 years lower than members of the general population.
