My 6th Annual look at who we lost in the music world the year before. These mixes always end up being my most eclectic posts of the year, my thought being if they made a mark, regardless of genre, they'll be included.

This year there wasn't a high profile passing of 'Michael Jackson' proprtions, say, but any music lover will have been deeply saddened by the passing of Captain Beefheart and Alex Chilton to name but two.

What is evident was 2010 was not a great year for bass players. And as seems to be the norm we lost some legendary soul singers, this year Solomon, Teddy and Teena.

Also this year we said goodbye to Corey Haim, John Forsythe, Dennis Hopper, Gary Coleman, Rue McLanahan, Tony Curtis, Arthur Penn, Sir Norman Wisdom, Leslie Nielsen and Blake Edwards.
