Buddy Holly for sure.
He was the first young rocker to die early, wasn't he?
The Day the Music Died.
SRV is on the list. He was just getting sober. He would still be around today and I think that Blues would be more a part of the mainstream if he was. Huge loss.
Elvis? It is hard to think that he would have come out of his downward spiral. Fame killed him, not an accident. He was a slow moving train wreck so I don't think that he would have provided anything more creatively.
John Lennon? Unless he would have been markedly better than Paul McCartney, I don't know what else he would have provided except being a cultural touchstone for Baby Boomers.
The more that I think about it in an objective sense, the more I think you have to go with Buddy Holly. Then Jimi Hendrix.
No one has mentioned Janis Joplin.
Or, Charlie "Bird" Parker.

Yes, it's extremely idiotic to say that it's the ONLY answer when you have no idea what he would go on to produce after that. He may have run out of ideas early. He may have gone crazy and stopped making music. You have no idea what he would have done. You also have no way of knowing that the other artists wouldn't be far more prolific and make far better music later in life.
You use a superlative argument about something entirely composed of assumptions.

When it comes to lost potential output and influence, Buddy Holly is really indisputably the only correct answer here.

Buddy Holly, Kurt Cobain, and Ian Curtis.
Put me in the Hendrix is overrated camp, guy had two good songs and one of them was a cover. Most overrated guy in music history.

Your opinion, as much as you're entitled to it, is fricking retarded.

Jesus Christ. All Along the Watchtower isn't even a top 5 Hendrix song.

Dimebag should have been on page 1. Don't care about his age, he was still on top.

I'm going with Hank Williams. Died at 29 and is still the best there ever was.
Buddy Holly died younger and may have had a tremendous influence on rock and roll, but people don't listen to his music anymore. People all over still crank Hank Sr. and it still holds up.
