So sad that many of the musicians I have grown up listening to are leaving this world.

'Don't fear the Reaper'..one of the best rock songs I ever heard..very sad

On your feet or on your knees . . .  
Ladies and Gentlemen - BLUE OYSTER CULT!!!!
 
I grew up on them also - sad.
 
RIP Allen

I met them when I was about 14 and my brother and  their manager were in college together at SUNY Stoneybrook.  At the time, they were calling themselves Soft White Underbelly... and they still needed more cowbell!
