By now, someone has probably pointed out to you that 50 years ago today, Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Richie Valens, Jimmy Hoffa and Gwen Stacy were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. Now, CNN is reporting that this is not "the day the music died," as suggested in the song "Bye Bye Birdie" by Willie Nelsons.
All mock blasphemies aside, this was a shitty event, and not just because Gary Busey and Lou Diamond Phillips would go on to portray Holly and Valens in respective biopics.
Now, our question to you, dear reader, is what three artists would have to die in a plane crash today for it to be considered a musical tragedy of equal proportions to the famous '59 crash?

Totally, Kickhead, but you forget how much Nirvana and Sublime they play. It's like, for The Buzz, the music died in the 90s.
I like Nadia's lead but I'd say the day 96.5 The Buzz died.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Beastie Boys
Cake
Do they play anything else?
Bono, Paul McCartney, then Bono again, after being revived by MAST team, then getting hit by meteor
Craig Finn, Billie Joe Armstrong and the guy with the red boots and beard from Valient Thorr.
No Pete Wentz, Nadia?
I thought it was gonna change a lot when Aliyah died in a plane crash. I guess what happened is a lot of people came out sounding just like her so her style lived on. Right now there are so many wannabes standing in line that if you take out 5 pop singers 10 more will sprout up to take their place. It's hopeless.
