	"cause" is misspelt.

	The answer to 2006/Cancer ends in tt.

	Good combination of the well-known and somewhat obscure. I like that you didn't go for the obvious hits each time. I'm a little surprised that with the list of the dead, you didn't include the main man from The Dead.

	It's Freddie Mercury not Freddy Mercury. Other than that minor error, great quiz.

	Johnny Cash was able to fight off an ostrich, but not diabetes... :(

	Great quiz! Have you thought about accepting "1997/Murder"'s real name? I'm not sure why I tried it first, but I did. However, I'm sure no one else will ever have that problem, so I doubt it's a huge issue.

	All those nights having dinner with my kids at Moe's Southwestern Grill just paid off. Nice job.

	Tupac was a rocker?

	JimmyJames:	Mar 22nd, 2011 at 15:55 GMT		9 points
	Nobody's going to claim Paul McCartney belongs on here?

	barnztormre:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 00:04 GMT		1 point
	Lots of possibilities for a sequel, most notably Ronnie Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Terry Kath (Chicago).

	No love to Cliff Burton?

	@barnztorme: great sugggestions. @listyguy: Such a well-done quiz, great mix, not as obvious as it could have been, you remembered some often forgotten people. I actually didn't know some of these people were dead.

	SexPanther96:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 06:39 GMT		8 points
	Where's Harry Chapin or Jim Croce? They're two of the best ever, in yet, some of the most underrated and less talked about.

	SexPanther96:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 06:40 GMT		1 point
	Also, Waylon should be on here.

	michael jackson but no john denver, eh??? hm.

	Ouch, 1980 was a pretty rough year.

	How about Aaliyah? Luther Vandross?

	thejoker15:	Mar 25th, 2011 at 14:31 GMT		3 points
	the quiz name rockers is misleading. tupac and notorious b.i.g. are rappers, not rockers, and otis redding and marvin gaye can hardly be called rockers either. perhaps change the title? still a fine quiz though.

	dollymix:	Mar 25th, 2011 at 20:50 GMT		2 points
	Props for including Keith Relf - everybody talks about the Yardbirds' guitarists but he was a huge talent too. The album he made with Armageddon right before he died is fantastic.

	papke16:	Mar 26th, 2011 at 00:55 GMT		2 points
	Not sure when this quiz was made but Gerry Rafferty and it almost seems a sin to exclude Dimebag.

	amwoods13:	Mar 26th, 2011 at 02:09 GMT		2 points
	I might have separated this into two quizzes, one for musicians who died naturally (illness, old age) and one for musicians who died unnaturally (murder, suicide, accident). As noted above, there are many other names you could include in either such quiz and I would add Layne Staley of Alice in Chains to that list.

	rsplenda477:	Mar 26th, 2011 at 03:22 GMT		4 points
	How about Rick Wright from Pink Floyd??

	Mama Cass Elliott!

	Koltrane:	Mar 27th, 2011 at 18:41 GMT		1 point
	ANY quiz that includes Ian Curtis / Joy Division gets an automatic 5 from me. Loved the quiz!

	D1989:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 07:33 GMT		2 points
	I'm glad you included Arthur Lee. Shame he's one of the least-guessed, though. I think that's proof that Love is quite possibly the most underrated and under-appreciated band of all time... Oh, and great quiz!

	SexPanther96:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 23:35 GMT		1 point
	I think the next should have Townes Van Zandt

	Ringer7:	Apr 1st, 2011 at 19:55 GMT		5 points
	If these are rockers, I'm not sure why 2pac and Biggie are on here and yet Van Zant, Hoon, Staley, Nowell, and Joey Ramone aren't. Otherwise, good quiz.

	jlevine15:	May 5th, 2011 at 16:45 GMT		2 points
	Little Red Rooster may have been made famous by the Stones, but it was first performed by Howlin' Wolf and written by Willie Dixon. You should watch Cadillac Records.....

	If you're ever going to do a sequel, in addition to all of Ringer7's suggestions, I'd also recommend Frank Zappa, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (Pantera), Cliff Burton (Metallica), Hillel Slovak (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Andy Wood (Mother Love Bone), and Jerry Garcia.

	BigMac13:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 22:33 GMT		1 point
	What do you mean "Lynyrd Skynyrd" isn't a valid answer?

	arilicious:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 15:41 GMT		1 point
	No Layne Staley? Frank Zappa?

	aznemesis:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 21:48 GMT		2 points
	I also wondered about the "rocker" title. Hank Williams is definitely not a rocker. I can see Waylon Jennings being included instead, since he played with Buddy Holly. It'd be cool if "John Ritchie" was acceptable for Sid Vicious--at least as a bonus. Those are nitpicks, though, because this quiz is awesome.

	Elbarto470:	Jul 23rd, 2011 at 11:14 GMT		1 point
	Seriously, FREDDIE Mercury. C'mon.

	getbornagain:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 01:19 GMT		1 point
	PLEASE add Layne Staley, 2002 - overdose.

	zappa, no jerry garcia, no richard wright cliff burton, come on if youre gonna take time to add amy winehouse you couldve added those the preceded her

	Michael Jackson didn't die of a heart attack. The coroner's report said it was propofol poisoning from an overdose.
