What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon?
For example, a band like Joy Division. Two masterpiece albums in the form of Unknown Pleasures and Closer, and the untimely death of Ian Curtis cut it all short. They were even heading into the direction that New Order eventually went in, and it would have been interesting to see what Ian Curtis would have done if they fully made the leap into electronic music while he was still alive.
Same here, I listened to their solo albums and while I didn't think any of it was bad at the time, I don't remember any of it. None of it stuck, which is so sad as every song on their albums were so good.
