It would probably be funnier if it weren't a deliberately chosen stage name.

This is a great post.

The difference between the other 3 artist on this list and Jeff Buckley, is that Marley, Drake, and Hendrix had achieved legendary status prior to their death (well, perhaps not Drake, but he was certainly much further along than Buckley was at the time of his death.)

I disagree completely. At the time of his death Buckley had released one amazing, yet comparatively unknown album. It's hard to speculate on Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk. I think it would have been a great and much more refined album than what we have of it now, but nowhere near the quality of Grace. Grace was a sleeper album, and I can honestly say that I definitely did my share in spreading it's gospel shortly after it was released, however I don't think that the quality of Grace as an album is an infallible indicator that Buckley's status would be anywhere near what it would be if he hadn't succumbed to such an untimely death. Quite the opposite, I think it was his death which set into momentum his future legendary status. I also believe that had he lived we wouldn't even be talking about him right now, and this is coming from a huge fan.

You're right about Drake Satchmo. Seems his mystique is all about such a tragedy... based on other people opinions A young man takes his own life, if he'd just got over his depression what other gems could he have given us [sic] I've actually liked a couple of Songs "The River", "Hazy"...??
Both very moving so was most of the album, name of which escapes me. Moving defianately, Monumentally Deep. Difficult to describe the music as entertaining. A bit Like having Theatre down the ears.

Marley I got into after hearing The survival album on a Compact Cassette when I was about 10 years old. It was a new form of Reggae for me as a boy discovering music for myself for first time. At home my Ma's favoured Reggae Vibe move toward Play John Holt, Ken Booth, Johnny Nash and Fashion. A lot of the commercial Trojan Stuff I suspect. You right about Marley as his name was already clearly being made by himself and his talent. What I noticed though in relation to Marley was following his death especially in UK was that after the charts were frequented my "Buffallo Soldier" "One Love" & "Jamming" amonst others new listeners to Marley suddenly start to delve into his Discography. At this point a brilliant Best of Album in the shape of "Legend" appeared. A Brilliant Album as an introduction to an artist. I'm convinced that Bob's Death turned many into Marley Fans.

The Doors in UK for my knowledge appear to have Cult Status in Britain as I don't think they had much chart succes. I'm guessing possibly "Light my Fire" and "Hello I love you" made some impact in the top 40 while Morrison still in the land of the living. They seem very popular for all age groups especially as Rite of Passage for The trippy youth experience.

That's my confusion though and Music interests me to waffle on but I'm prob confusing Popularity, respect, and likebility with chart success. The Doors were never intending to be the Beatles.
TBH I don't know what I'm on about now.
I'm just bored and I love Music...

Gonna flit to another thread and be frivolous...

Nice one Satchmo. I remember chatting to you on here years back must read some of your posts again always found your writing entertaining and intellectual.

Yes Satchmo I did.

I can't imagine you'd remember me as my input at the time would have been fairly underwhelming.
Still is I guess, just more recent!

SATCHMO disappeared not long after you went AWOL.

His second coming was equally impressive, however.
