Bummer...

And they were once again snubbed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... I mean they had to make room for Madonna afterall... :roll: :roll:

Unfortunately, perhaps Bank's passing will break the Curse in 2014...

R.I.P. Peter !

Thanks for the Music !!

cheers!

I must be seriously behind the times. Never heard of Peter Banks. I thought Steve Howe was the lead guitarist. I knew he was when I was listening to them.

Yea... Alvin Lee and Peter Banks were relatively young... both less than a decade older than I am. :shock: :shock:

'Course they were British... not exactly a testament to the UK Healthcare System...

cheers!

You know you're getting old when all the cultural icons you grew up with start to die off.

I'm not at all familiar with Peter Banks either,I was more into them with the Steve Howe/ Jon Anderson team fronting the group in the old "Roundabout" days.It is sad though to see another member of rock's heirarchy pass away at what these days is considered relatively young.
