Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?

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.

Warren Zevon.  His last album was made when he knew his end was coming. Its a brilliant record. 

I read the lyrics to Keep Me In Your Heart at both my parents' funerals.

My wife's response would be Karen Carpenter.

If only her and Mama Cass could have rubbed off on one another.

I became very fond of fIREHOSE very quickly.  Met Mike Watt at one of their Liberty Lunch gigs -- he could not have been more kind and he most certainlly didn't have any reason to be that way.  Good dude.
