Which musician would have done the most if they'd just stayed alive longer?
My nominations are:
Robert Johnson
Hank Williams
Jimi Hendrix
Nick Drake
Gram Parsons
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Kurt Cobain
Janis Joplin
Who am I missing? I'm not asking which of these artists was the greatest artist considering the work they'd already done (personally, I think Cobain had already reached his full potential and wouldn't have done much more if he'd lived longer, though I also think he may have made the second biggest impact [after Hendrix] of the lot before he died), I'm asking which one would have done the most if they'd lived long enough to reach their full potential.
In my opinion, I think we lost the most with the deaths of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin. Though I'd be hard pressed to pick between those three.
Convince me otherwise for ten points!
