Funny that. I'd just realised there was no NY.

Cortez the Killer for me.

And there's a Joni Mitchell song in there somewhere, I just can't think of the name of it.

There are so many good singer/songwriters that have died before their time, but Jeff is the one I think the world really could have done with hanging around a bit longer.

I think the same about Michael Hutchence of INXS

Blue for the Joni Mitchell Song?

I'd aldo add NY's 'Needle and the Damage Done' and in a similar vein Bert Jansch's 'Needle of Death'

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven (esp. the unplugged version)

It's one of those things that I find far more poignant now I'm a father than I did when I first heard it.

From the OMD stable - International, Of all the things we've made, Messerschmitt Twins or Sacred Heart all do it - but particularly Joan of Arc, Seeland and Romance of the Telescope.  They hit a rich vein of form in 1980/81.

Joy, or Medicine, by The Sundays
Name of the game  - Abba
Blind dumb deaf - Cocteau Twins
Say say something - James (not to be confused by Say Something - a different song)
Gorecki - Lamb
True Love Waits, Videotape, and a load of other Radiohead
Harrowdown Hill, Thom Yorke
Von - Sigur Ros
Maps - Yeah yeah yeahs
Dash and Blast - Yndi Halda
Dayvan Cowboy - Boards of Canada
Lorretine - Clan of Xymox
Child in us - Enigma
One, Bad etc - U2

Janis Joplin - Cry Baby as well as Buried Alive In The Blues (although that probably owes more to the fact the Janis died the day before she was due to record the vocals).
Parry - I Was Glad Pure Victorian schmaltz
The Kinks - You Really Got Me The original Britpop
Julian Cope - Soul Desert
Richie Havens - Handsome Johnny
Tricky - Ponderosa
Tom Waits - The Earth Died Screaming
Allegri - Miserere

And probably dozens of others, must find time to listen to more music.
