A bunch of the 27 club.

The more famous artist who 'make' the list the better remembered these folks will be down the line.

Jim Morrison

Jimi Hendrix

Brian Jones

Janis Joplin

Kurt Cobain

Amy Winehouse

Also because of either their talent, influence or their impact on counter culture-

The Beatles

The Stones and The Doors, both with 27 club members

The Beach Boys

Led Zeppelin

The Who

Jefferson Airplane

Buddy Holly

Bo Diddly

Chuck Berry

Grateful Dead

Eric Clapton (maybe Cream but probably not)

Impossible to say who on the list will actually be remembered at what level of granularity but it will probably be from this list.

Don't know if R&B artist will be lumped in but if they were

Otis Redding

Sam Cooke

James Brown

Micheal Jackson

Marvin Gaye

Aretha Franklin

Curtis Mayfield?

Prince
