Of all the musicians who died too young, whose stuff would you have most liked to see?

Randy Rhoads is one of many for me. He was only 25. He started Quiet Riot when he was 16 and was teaching guitar for money in high school. I think an amazing solo career was in his future.

Always sad when we lose talented people so young.
I guess it shouldn’t be that surprising though, how many of us knew people who loved drugs and music and completely ruined their life or even died at a young age from it.
The famous ones are those same screwed up druggy friends we knew, except they had more talent or luck to get recognized.
ETA: the same is true of athletes who go bankrupt. We all had the jock friend who could barely read or socialize, just worked out and played sports.

Prince had a lot of music left in him when he died.

Rhoads died because of the pilots drug abuse. He rarely drank and less rarely touched drugs.

Rumor was he had enough recorded songs in his vault to fill a lot of albums. I wonder if most will stay hidden,
