Steve Marriott

Steve Marriott is one of rock's great unsung heroes, and it genuinely baffles me that he isn't mentioned in the same breath as the giants of his era every single time. As the heart of the Small Faces he was writing impossibly catchy, soulful pop-rock at a time when most bands were still finding their footing, and then he turned around and co-founded Humble Pie and cranked the amplifiers up to something rawer and heavier — a move that felt totally natural because the guy had that much range. His voice was this ragged, white-soul howl that very few British singers have ever matched, and his guitar work was just as unshowy and honest. He died in a house fire in 1991 at only 44, which still stings, because you get the sense he had more chapters left.
