Which musician would have achieved more had they not died prematurely?

[DerekJohnson]

I was going to add Ronnie Van Zant/Steve Gaines. Seemed like they were going to have at least another good album or two in them.
I voted Jimi because he was super ahead of his time and seemed like he was heading in the direction of doing more and more interesting shit.
I'd be really curious about what Cobain would have done. I honestly have no clue.
the truth is most if not all had probably peaked though.
Almost all probably have controversial political opinions if they're still alive.

I have a hunch that Cobain had done all he could do.

John Lennon needed to get cleaned up and away from Yoko. There would have been more in the tank, I just know it.

I think this is true and was playing into his depression. I remember reading that one of his issues was he was propped up as this prophet but really he didn't have much to say at all. Isn't the truth that his lyrics were insanely meaningless and a lot were just basically inside jokes about his friends?

His ability to write a catchy melody combined with his thrift store IDGAF persona, was the right fit for the right time, as America began its hastened descent into degeneracy and mediocrity…

This really is easy. Hendrix was just getting started. He was going through a bit of a reset and never should have moved away from the original Experience power trio. Mitch Mitchell was nearly as much of a force in that setup as Hendrix was.
However...look at the way the harder end of the rock spectrum was evolving in 1970 and where it went. Does anyone really think Hendrix would've stood by and watched bands like Sabbath, Led, and Deep Purple leave him behind as a hard rocker? I believe that would've been his direction and it would've been glorious.
Morrison was talented but he was a fuck stuck and a clown. I used to have a disk of Hendrix jamming in some club. Pretty shitty jamming but that's jamming for you. Morrison got up there with him, noticeably, incoherently drunk, and made such a fool of himself that I had a hard time hearing even his Doors stuff for a while after. Man he sucked. You could tell Hendrix was embarrassed.

Morrison would either have to sober up or die, and went the latter route. If he sobered up then he'd sing better for starters. On the last recordings he simply sounded drunk compared to the early stuff.

To me Morrison was always like walking the finest fucking line between artist poet and drunken idiotic buffoon.

That's why he's a fucking legend! I've loved the Lizard King schtick since I was a little kid.
Mr Mojo rising!

I love it but it's honest to god hard not to laugh sometimes and I understand how a lot of people are like what the fuck is this? Especially as time goes on.

My gringo ass gave him love earlier. I mean, the pole wants to know which one would have achieved moar, and Ritchie had time on his side compared to all other options.

@DerekJohnson is still getting his reads down on being my music pole assistant content creator.
We'll get there.

Este pendejo "peter-puffer" maricón hijo puta que not quiere reconocer el mérito de nos hermano Ritchie.
Sorry yella. When the Latino boys go rogue, we only know one way: hard. It's in our hot blooded nature. Sorry.

That's what the good Senator used to say, too.
From this:

To this:

Oh, he pays for the sexy. He pays alright.

The senator realizes that he was set up as soon as Tom walks in but he also knew there wasn't a thing he could do about it

He sure got cozy with oil hairs and silk suits after that.

Fun fact: this guy - GD Spradlin - played a Bobby Knight-type role in the movie One on One with Robbie Benson. He was very good at playing an asshole.
