What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon?

Joy Division - Atmosphere [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

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.

Just hours ago I played a vinyl of this I found last week. Great stuff.

I appreciate you mentioning this great band... my first thought was Alice in Chains, even tho I feel like we got some great albums out of the group before the split and Layne's death. I still get sad chills when listening to their MTV Unplugged show that I revisit from time to time.

My pain is self-chosen, At least I believe it to be, I could either drown, Or pull off my skin and swim to shore, Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

Amazing.
