Would have been fun to see what Ian Curtis and Joy Division had in store. 

I'd disagree. I think Joy Division had run it's course and they weren't gonna find the path that became the New Order sound with Ian.

Maybe they died at the perfect time.
 

What if Cobain gets clean and becomes Steven Tyler?  Or Hendrix follows an Elton John path and is on the Lion King soundtrack?  Or Brian Jones goes solo and becomes Rod Stewart?
 

Not everyone puts out cool stuff as they get older.  

I get your point but Elton John is a step up from Tyler and Rod Stewart. Paul McCartney made some shitty music, too.

So junior high and high school kids in the 80s would have been talking about Brian Jones getting semen pumped out of his stomach?

Other names:

Brad Delp

Jerry Garcia

I'm fairly certain that if Jerry Garcia had lived, he would have made some great music, but it would sound exactly like All his other music.
