8. Falco
We love Falco. We always loved Falco and we always will. He was too cool for words. He was this Austrian musical genius who never took life too seriously and who realized 80s are ridiculous even before they ended. He was one of a kind. He truly was.
He is probably the most famous Austrian after Mozart and Hitler, and authored classics like Rock me Amadeus, Vienna Calling and Wiener Blut. He lost his life in 1998, when his Mitsubishi Pajero crashed into a bus in the Dominican Republic.
Falco was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol at the time of the accident. He lived life on his own terms and we are sad to say it cost him his life.
Such a shame.
