I’d have thought someone would have posted on the surf guitar legend’s passing by now. He deserves acknowledgement here even if he isn’t too highly regarded in the rankings.

I only know a few songs by him, but he's certainly a legend of surf rock and deserves to be honored here. "Misirlou" is one of the most badass songs ever recorded. R.I.P.

Didn't actually know that he was still alive (until March 16th that is). It should have been mentioned earlier, true. I don't know much beyond Misirlou, but that one is great and apparently he is the true founder of the surf guitar sound, which is cool.
