Shannon Hoon. Blind Melon's Soup was amazing and I'd love to see what direction they went next.
Good one.
Not to be an a-hole, but there are some who probably peaked before they died whose death did their legacy a favor a la Cobain, Hendrix, Winehouse.

Brian Jones, Duane Allman, Ronnie Van Zant, may others who I saw named in the first couple pages

Both were good, but if we're going by the average lifespan of a successful recording artist, they were pretty old huh?

SRV. I was in college when it happened. I would have loved to see my fellow Texan rip it up in Deep Ellum someday

Baby boomers were still a potent commercial force, and his death was an excuse for them to dwell on their past and the sixties in general. He was a bigger star (grateful) dead than he ever was alive.
I believe Steve Jobs also "died at the right time"

Jerry could have continued on as an acoustic artist (see garcia/grisman) and hunter still had hundreds of songs left in him
it was a powerful and tragic loss

Stevie Ray Vaughan
For me, this is the clear answer, and its not even close. I just discovered him two or three years before his death and was never able to see him. Can’t even imagine how many times I would’ve seen him since then and the new music he would’ve produced. Damn, what a huge loss. Never seen such raw and powerful guitar playing like that.

Hendrix is the ultimate example. He's way more myth than actual discography

Myth? What he did in such a short time will never be matched. Hey Joe, Voodoo Chile, Wind Cries Mary, Red House, All Along the Watchtower, Spanish Castle Magic, If 6 was 8, Bold as Love. I can go on and on.
