In Memoriam 2017

[Echoes]

I've published a list for Echoes of those we've lost over the last year. A lot of prog rockers, ones we all know like John Wettton and Alan Holdsworth, but many who slipped by like Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit of Can drummer Clive Brooks. https://wp.me/p4ZE0X-dm8

One correction: The Roches were a trio, not a duo.

[Wah3]

Don't forget Phil Miller, one of the founders of Canterbury

Thanks for the list

I knew that. I don't know why I put duo. Thanks.

Don't forget Phil Miller, one of the founders of Canterbury

For some reason I thought Phil was a '16 loss. Thanks. Updated.

Although Maggie and Terre did make an album as a duo before the first actual Roches album. ("Guess which two of us made a record...")

Don't forget Phil Miller, one of the founders of Canterbury

Thanks for the list

Oh, I didn't know that Phil Miller had passed away. Only 68. Sad.
Makes me think I should take that early retirement...

Very sadly, Colin Tench has also passed away.

Damn, that saddens me. When?

[lazland]

Damn, that saddens me. When?

The past few days, I believe. A link here:

Here's NPR's list. It's missing a few proggers that John thoughtfully included but casts a slightly wider net. Not as devastating a year as 2016 but man, we still lost a lot this year.

Chris Cornell. RIP

Doesn't seem as much volume wise but in my mind a lot of unexpected losses like Chris Cornell, Walter Becker, Tom Petty, Pat DiNizio, Larry Coryell, Alan Holdsworth...2017 sure packed a wallop.

I'm surprised none of these lists mention Col. Bruce Hampton.

Wow, Allan Holdsworth, Phil Miller, Larry Coryell and John Abercrombie, all in one year. It can get any worse than that!!!

[Mister Triscuits]

It can get any worse than that!!!

Man, don't tempt fate!

[MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER]

Wow, Allan Holdsworth, Phil Miller, Larry Coryell and John Abercrombie, all in one year. It can get any worse than that!!!

4 of the best electric Guitar men of all time

[Progbear]

Don’t forget Joy Fleming, lead singer of Joy Unlimited among her other accomplishments (a rock/blues/gospel singer from Mannheim, Germany is a big accomplishment in my book).

A friend flew to Atlanta for that concert from the Bay Area and witnessed the tragedy first hand. I can't imagine it.
