Imagine if Rod Stewart had died in 1973. He'd probably be remembered as one of the greatest frontmen in rock history with a near-flawless discography.

Who else?

He'd be a mostly forgotten footnote, kind of like how he is now.

Madonna should have died after Ray of Light
David Bowie should have died after Scary Monsters

He was the lead singer of Faces, but he was more successful as a solo artist with a bunch of hits and consistently well-rated albums

Zoomers, not even once

Would the Beatles be even more famous had they all died in a plane crash or something in 1969?

Ok, now the opposite. Musicians whose legacy grew because they didn't die young.

Maybe it was good that Jimi Hendrix didn't live to make a disco album or an 80s pop album with giant drums and DX7s.

It wasn’t enough for Terry Kath to blow his brains out. The whole band needed to die in a horrible plain crash Skynyrd style.
