Brian Jones definately. The Stones were so good with him and soon after he died they became terrible for many decades.

[HappyGilmore]

George Harrison.

Also:
Bo Diddley
Joe Strummer
Buddy Holly

and, if he counts, which he should to a degree, although he wasn't "rock", Michael Jackson.

[Criswell]

No Jim Morrison yet?

[Vik]

Hendrix

[Jack]

Definitely Jimi Hendrix, I used to listen to his stuff all the time.  A true musical genius.

[diamondwaspvenom]

Cliff Burton

[Allhallowsday]

No Jim Morrison yet?

I mentioned him on the last page...

I'll add John Entwistle, AKA "Thunderfingers"- Bassist for The Who and probably greatest bassist ever.

Another trivia question- Which three musicians were pictured on Fender's "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Stratocaster" catalogue? Large hint: only one is still alive. 

[Oscar]

OK, nobody got the trivia question so I'll take care of ya... The three rockers who made it onto the cover of the Fender Strat 50th anniversary catalog were: JImi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I thought somebody would've  at least guess Eric Clapton since he's still alive- at least last time I checked.

I never even saw the post with the question.  If I had, I'd have thrown out Clapton.
