Addictedtoclassic Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 10 most upsetting moments in music history. - Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash - The Beatles disbanding - Roger Waters leaving Pink Floyd - John Lennon getting shot - Jimi Hendrix dying - Jim Morrison dying - Keith Richards disagreeing with Mick Jagger on the future of their music causing the band to temporarily part - Michael Jackson being arrested (twice) - Kurt Cobain dying - Ashlee Simpson's SNL performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 If you look back far enough, another truly traumatizing moment was "The Day Rock & Roll Died" these guys all helped pave the way for R&R music. Another one I would add is John Bonham's death, which is basically what killed Zeppelin, I know their music had lost it's original glory, but a few more albums would've produced a few more ZepTunes worth listening to. Even "ITtOD" had it's memorable songs, including "Fool in the Rain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
