A great musician who died young was Vitek. One of the best drummers in the world at 15.

Dio, he was only 67 for fuck's sake. :saddowns:

jimi hendrix is an obvious answer as far as individual artists go

as for bands I'd say Hendrix Emerson Lake and Palmer

died before it officially started :(

[TheGuru]

Pantera

[En-Guage V2]

Rage Against The Machine

Didn't die, just broke up

They got back together in 2008 and started doing more tours. They apparently also wrote new music but don't want to release it yet.

[En-Guage V2]

Yeah still, they lost all the momentum at their prime

I knew they "reformed' but they're still not a band until they release new stuff in my eyes

[WeekendWarrior]

The Doors.

[Sundowner]

Band wise? I wish T-Rex had been around longer, but Mark Bolan's last great hit was a tree

Dear God I wish T-Rex had lasted a bit longer. I love T-Rex.

[404 Not Found]

most people will not care but Viatrophy and Vegas in Ruins should never have broken up (though VIR's frontman is in Thy Art Is Murder now)

You know nothing about music. Also Metallica. Yeah you know what I mean...

[mikeyt493]

Metallica died after only 5 years. 4 years if we're talking from when they actually did stuff.

[CoolCorky]

Jeff Buckley isn't a band but he still died young

[bunguer]

Nick Drake, was a fucking great musician, incredible melodies and he was so young.. It's one artist I would really love to see what more could he bring to the world if he lived.

[MrJazzy]

I was gonna mention Nick Drake but bunguer got first.

Anyways, Harry Chapin, Robert Johnson :smug:, The Lovin' Spoonful.

[CoolCorky]

Also Syd Barrett didn't actually die but he kinda completely broke his mind when young.

Pink Floyd changed when Syd left.

Syd was a genius lost in his own psychadelic mess. Did you know he didn't listen to a single song of his from when he retired until his very last years when he watched his own documentary?

Windir.
