Easily John Lennon & George Harrison's.
But moreso Lennon. Why? For the same reason why everyone mourned him- his death was totally senseless & a huge waste.
The man gave us so much happiness & good music. I was upset & was only around 13 when he died.
With George, it was very sad as well, but we kinda saw it coming. Not the case w/ John.

Definitely have to agree, I too was deeply affected by Kurt Cobain's death, I was a huge fan at the time and I cried for years over him. I was a teen when he died and saw Nirvana in concert (12/30/93) a few months before he died. It just broke my heart so bad. No other famous person's death ever affected me like that. I still don't even like to think about it. :(

DIMEBAG!!!
I live in Columbus Ohio, where he died. I was supposed to go to that concert and I would have pushed my way to the front because that's what I do at every show, so I may have been shot that night. It's not so much that Dimebag's death caused me sorrow or anything (don't get me wrong, it's a HUGE loss in music) but what really got me was knowing that I should have been there.
Now EVERY rock concert I go to, I'm reminded of the loss because artists LOVE playing tribute to the great man that Dimebag was because Columbus is cursed yet blessed to be the site where he left this earth.
The Alrosa Villa (the venue where it all happened) hasn't been the same for me since that night. I don't like seeing shows there anymore.
I hope that Nathan Gale is being tortured in hell by Dimebag.

John Lennon
I loved the Beatles, and liked Lennon's music. I just remember waking up for school turning on the TV and hearing that Lennon had been shot on Good Morning America. I couldn't tell you how much time passed because I just remember staring at the screen. It seemed so unreal. I couldn't understand why someone would do that.
It was odd to think of a world that Lennon no longer occupied. It was a tragic waste.

There were a lot of musicians that have died that have touched me over the course of my life.
The one who affeced me the MOST, however was George Harrison. First of all, George was always my favorite Beatle - he was such a gentle soul it was hard not to love him (plus, on a superficial girl-note, I always thought he was the cutest one!)
In all seriousness, though, George died of lung cancer very shortly before my own father died of lung cancer. I remember sitting with my dad, crying over the news. I think about half of the tears were for George. The rest were for the reality of our own battles at home.
I was a Beatles fan from early childhood because I was very much a daddy's girl, and my dad LOVED the Beatles. As I grew up, I developed an understanding of why my dad loved them as much as he did. But man! That was a tough, tough day at my parents' house. Whew.

I had just begun having some breakthroughs in learning to play guitar when I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed. That blew me away, since I got to see his last show in Austin. Also, Dimebag's death was very disturbing...and not many musicians will ever be taken out doing what they love.

Conway Twitty's. I remember exactly where I was when it was announced on the radio - I was at a traffic light at the intersection of Cherry Lane and Trail Lake Drive in Ft. Worth, Texas. I busted out in tears, pulled into the nearest gas station - an Exxon - and used the payphone to call my mom and tell her.
We were raised with various genres of music in our home, but certain artists were our favorites - Conway Twitty was at the top of that list. I can't tell you how many times we'd be singing to Conway cassette tapes in the car with my Mom and Dad, all of us - the whole family - we loved his music, we'd laugh at his funny story songs, and get a little misty eyed when he sang "Jodi" and "That's My Job".
I guess it affected me so much because his music was so interwoven into the fabric of many of my best memories with my family. It felt like a member of our family had died when he passed.
It will be the same for me when George "No Show" Jones dies as well.

Dimebag Darrell. He went in one of the worst possible ways, and there was no reason for it. I still remember the day i read it on the internet, i was dumbfounded and thought it was a joke, but when i discovered it wasn't, i just couldn't believe something like that would happen, the world had just lost one of the best guitarists to ever touch the instrument. RIP

Its not just one Musicians death that affects me, its all of them..
Every time a Musician dies from Suicide, Natural Causes, Unexplained Accidents or Murder we lose a piece of history.
Their music remains alive, but nothing new can ever be released for the new generation to enjoy......

It's a toss up between John Lennon and Curt Cobain. John was a real visionary who could have influenced some really great changes to this country and he was taken away. Curt because it made me realize how much courage it takes to live every day and in his cowardly act of suicide he taught us all that it's important to live courageously.
Sounds convoluted but that's my 2 cents.

I may be a bit older than some on here but the deaths of Harry Chapin (Cats and the Cradle) and John Denver hit me pretty hard.
