 * two Pretenders: James Honeyman Scott (?) and the bassist 25 and 30.
 * Does Stu Sutcliff count? Wasn't really much of a musician, but played in a famous band for a bit. added (21)
 * half the Ramones, surely under 50 done (49 and 50)
 * The guy who inspired this article (by dying...), Alex Chilton... was he over fifty though? 59, not necessarily too "young" for the heart attack.
 * Though there's only one original surviving Ramone so I don't think they should be included at all in the "still kickin" section. 00:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, sure. 00:39, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there a "special club" for Grateful Dead keyboardists? 00:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Pigpen kicked at 27... 00:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Should we sort "Can nothing kill them?" by birth year? 01:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hard to do - most of them pre-date the national registry of births, marriages and deaths. Totnesmartin (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahaha. Shall we establish a lower cutoff for the "will nothing kill them" section?  At least 60?  70?  22:09, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah (make it 60), and remove the clean living types too - it's supposed to be about people who survived the worst that they could throw at themselves, or it loses the humeur and becomes a random list of old people. Totnesmartin (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * How about 65? Born 1945 or earlier (as of now)?  And agreed, if they weren't known for abusing their bloodstream, there's no pojnt.  Is Dean martin still alive?  03:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll agree to 60 (1950), since it would be a shame to leave out Ozzy and Alice. 03:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

The less-known names
Should we stick the band name in parens at the end of listings for those who have no idea who we are talking about - ie, James honeypot Scott (The Pretenders - guitar)? 03:35, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Good idea - or style of music for soloists. Totnesmartin (talk) 13:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
