Well it seems that one of the great pioneers of the Rock and Roll sound has passed away. As a ametuer musician I have listed to a lot of different music over the years, and Bo Diddley has such a unique sound that list of bands that have covered his songs is pretty impressive. If you have not listened to his work I strongly urge you to do so.
