re: Playing God: What Musician Who Died Young Would You Want to live another 10 Years?

Bonham was on a one way path to the grave long before what happened in 1980. Plant and Jones had cleaned up a few years before and even Jimmy Page had calmed down. The night he died, he had gone to one of the other band members house but had been totally incapacitated by the copious amounts of alcohol he had drank that day....which was not all that unusual for Bonham.

I think Cobain is an interesting choice but in reverse. I really think he had probably tapped out his reservoir by the time of his death.

Bonham and Keith Moon would have just going until they died again. But both great drummers.

Along with Ginger Baker they're my top 3 rock drummers.

Agree. Cobain was spent.

I haven't seen anyone mention Terry Kath. I would really have liked to see him break free from Chicago in the early 80's and do his own thing.

Don Rich.

Ronnie Van Zant

Terry Kath, guitarist from Chicago’s early work.

Prince was old when he died, but he made some great music.

Once I started listening to some of her music, I became a fan. She had a lot of talent.

KC is probably my favorite female voice.
Tragic circumstances regarding her early death. Many, many people suffer from this.
