...that had the biggest impact on you. Saw a thread like this on another board and thought it was pretty interesting.

The Presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to those who think they’ve found it. -- From Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
I don't know, a singer, actor, politician, someone like that.
Layne Staley-lead singer for Alice in Chains. His music is incredible. We'll never hear a voice like his again. You can just feel his pain in his singing. I felt very very sad for him that he couldn't beat his addiction. He died a lonely, troubled soul. No one deserves to go out like that. I'm reminded of how emotional he was whenever I hear listen to my old AIC's CD's or listen to the Mad Season CD.
edited to add: In case you don't know, he O.D'd on heroin and cocaine in April 2002. He was only 34 years old.

Princess Diana's death bothered me too. The way she died was so violent. I never knew she did so much trying to help children around the world until after her death. And so beautiful too. The world lost a great lady when she passed on.
Joe Strummer, from The Clash
George Harrison
Screaming Lord Sutch

The Pixies. They didn't really die; when they split up it was called their "death" (thus the albums Death to the Pixies (a "best of") and Pixies f**king die (a tribute of covers)).
Then there's Michael Hutchence, Kurt Cobain, Sir Alec Guiness and George Harrison.
And when Princess Diana died I was amazed at the world reaction (so that had an effect).
I can't recall any others, so I guess they didn't really have that much effect.
George Harrison.
The day they announced his death, at least 5 people at work came up to me all serious and offered their condolences, as if he was a close personal friend or something.
It was very, very sad--I kind of thought of George as indestructible after everything he'd already gone through.
I was also very saddened by Joe Strummer's death, but the thing that bothered me the most about that was that everyone automatically assumed it was b/c of drugs.
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make--The Beatles
Michael Hutchence. booze+antidepressants=one messed up dude
and.. oh geez, what was his name, it's slipped my mind. Bill from Newsradio, and he did voices on the Simpsons ... anyone?
