Only with the Logical Song did I become aware of them. They reminded me of a heavier ELO/REO in may ways, another band that I did not case for during high school. Regardless, very talented, of course, just not my cuppa tea, as they say. RIP Rick Davies

Say what you will, but The Monkees had some great songs, before and after they insisted on writing their own.
Bobby Hart Wrote Stepping Stone, which, by many accounts, can be considered the first Punk Song (IMO along with My Generation).

RIP Bobby Hart

Interesting trivia, The “Monkees” theme was not their only indelible TV song; the duo also wrote the theme for the long-running soap “Days of Our Lives.”

RIP Chris, a real "rock-related" musician, The Yardbirds are underrated to the extreme

To make this a Stones-related obi: Chris played with Brian Jones, Stu, Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood

I forgot to post two who passed away recently

The first is Alan Dunn, I knew about him from Bill German's book, "Under Their Thumb", so I'm going to quote Bill's post on Facebook

"Noting the passing last week of Alan Dunn, one of the longest running Stones employees in the band's history. He was 85.

As some of you know, he was a prominent character in Under Their Thumb. (Introduced not-so-positively in chapter 24, but overwhelmingly redeemed in chapters 37, 39, and 40.)

He started working for the Stones in 1967, as an assistant and driver for Brian and Mick. On tour, he was usually listed as the "logistics director," sort of a road manager, but his job entailed a lot more than that. He worked out of the Stones' London office year-round, and was an integral part of their organization until his retirement in 2012. (In the above pic from 1976, he's shown chauffeuring Mick on his motorcycle.)

RIP, Alan Dunn."

Good point, I'm sure (I guess) they don’t know about it. Since the official Rolling Stones website follows Rocks Off on Facebook (everyone can check this in the section "mutual following") I'm going to send them a private message. Also, The official Ronnie Wood follow us, previously also Keith did it

I'm, going right now
