More Thoughts On The Death Of Richard Wright, And Of A Generation's Musicians

You can go to David Gilmour's site to read his thoughts on Richard's passing. I started to think about all the bands that no one can really see anymore, since they are either broken up because of a death, or tour without a key member. This is what I came up with, and it is blowing my mind. Who am I missing?

Pink Floyd
The Beatles
The Who
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC (Bon Scott, the original, and still the best)
Queen
The Cars
Nirvana
B-52's
Pretenders
Joy Division
Doors
Grateful Dead
Sex Pistols
INXS
The Knack
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Allmann Brothers
Metallica
Alice In Chains
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ramones
Sublime

There are benefits to being Old Skool. One of the drawbacks is being reminded that you are getting older all the time.
