Sid Vicious? What, a no talent scumbag who couldn't even play his instrument?
Also, I recommend adding Tim Buckley as you already have his son. :)

Just an FYI: it's Shannon Hoon, not Moon. :-)

Consider adding Jim Croce and Harry Chapin

Croce is already up there. Good call on Chapin though...

Please consider adding "Gentleman" Jim Reeves. Was 41 at the time of his death (airplane crash) in 1964.

Keith Moon and John Entwhistle of The Who.
Andy Gibb
Cass Elliot
Woody Guthrie
Judy Garland
Mario Lanza
