not technically a rock star but probably more important than any of em....

yeah, pauly. that was a gigantic loss to mankind when he died, and he WAS a rockstar.

I always found it funny that he used to be a radio DJ in Oklahoma City.

the station is still around too.

damn, I can't believe he wasn't mentioned earlier.

Who is it?

John Peel.

not only was i going to say-ian curtis, but also d boon
but i was going to post that same picture.
i wish he were still alive.
or came back to life for i day so mike watt could talk to him again. that woul make me happy...

all the ramones
joe strummer
john fahey
derek bailey
and many more

it's amazing that Einstein can rank at #5 (above Marilyn Monroe for fuck's sake), just by selling posters of his face to nerdy college kids.



hats off to you, my hypercranial friend. if Tupac beat you out, I might consider suicide.

Even today I maintain...




But some on here I wouldn't consider rockstars like D. Boon.

^^^ yr a cold hard sucka.
