This is an article in which I tried to bundle all the great losses of rock'n roll and modern music. That means all the musicians which are worldwide known and died at young age (before 51 years old). I tried to give a little information about the way they died. Most of the information I got from Wikipedia. When someone thinks I forgot an artist or that the information is incorrect... I'm open for new information.

The list is in order of age of dying
For the artists younger than 37 I'll recommend you Pt 1;

Welcome to my very late but traditional "Hey what did ya get for Christmas ?!?" journal.

The story of what I got starts before Christmas because I decided I wanted a new Blu Ray player to hook up to my fancy stereo. I just have a dvd player an old reliable Magnavox.

So, I thought it would be nice to have a blu-ray player that actually did a good job of playing music but that costs, big time. The best is an Oppo BDP-93 but it is very very expensive and never ever ever goes on sale. The other is a Marantz like my receiver but it is really expensive and only last year's model ever goes on sale. The Denon DBP-1611UD is also expensive but it does go on sale occasionally and it has a Burr Brown DAC chip which is just really good at taking zeroes and ones and turning them into a pleasing audio signal. But …

The wife asks innocently, "What does that one do that the one half its price doesn't do?"

I reply, "Nothing it just does it better."
