Bo Diddley RIP 17 Years ago
from the post on the Your Views board... his rhythm ideas took over the entire industry (those powerful toms)... without Diddley, no Buddy Holly, no Chuck Berry? Even no Rolling Stones? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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.

what a tremendous loss and RIP. Check out "Not Fade Away" by the Stones. The man's influence and style was profound. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

A great influence. RIP Bo. I recall Craig McLachlan also doing a Bo Diddley inspired number - "Hey Mona". Bo will certainly never be forgotten. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Let's not forget some of the weird amplified violin tracks he did too. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
