Let's not forget some of the weird amplified violin tracks he did too.

A great influence. RIP Bo.
I recall Craig McLachlan also doing a Bo Diddley inspired number - "Hey Mona". Bo will certainly never be forgotten.

Thinking about it further.
There are not many people that can have lived their life and had a beat named after them are there?
RIP Bo.

what a tremendous loss and RIP. Check out "Not Fade Away" by the Stones. The man's influence and style was profound.

Difficult to know what to say really, what a legend that guy was.
But I would add to that short list of yours, T Rex (from 1970),Sigue Sigue Sputnik, "Hand Jive" from Grease, and the Smith`s "How Soon Is Now".
He had such a natural and human beat within him and how the heck he played that strangly shaped guitar with comfort baffles me.
