1
Michael Jackson

Absolutley the kindest, sweetest, most caring man that ever lived. Not only will his music live forever, his legacy and humanitarian efforts will live on as well. He was so incredible with his efforts to make the world a better place. I still cry nonstop when his passing is brought up. But now, the media can talk about him as much as they want, say whatever they want. It will hurt his family, friends, and fans, but it can no longer hurt him <3 Rest in Peace, Mikey. We love you!

The quick fox jumped over the lazy dog, which in turn killed Michael Jackson. Kill the fox!

2John Lennon

John, you are forever missed. So tragic how you were shot. May he rest in peace. Long live John.

3Kurt Cobain
4Freddie Mercury

Queen

5Elvis

Elvis. Maybe Amy Winehouse. The thing is though, Elvis had style. Best song: A Little Less Conversation.

This man had such a great voice, sang different styles of music, acted in Movies, was so kind to fans and Generous to those around him... How can he be this low in the poll? He wasn't Labeled the King of Rock n Roll for Nothing.

25Billy Preston
26Clarence Clemons
27Benjamin Orzechowski - The Cars

They couldn't have don't it without him, the person behind the partial success of the classic rock band the CARS, and the voice behind the songs that made the CARS popular, such as Just What I Needed, Lets Go, Candyo and their number 1 hit from 1984, the haunting Drive. Ben did have medium success with his solo career with his album Stay the Night, 1986. All us fans of the CARS want to add him to the list of most missed artists of all time.
