2. I would say Joy Division, |
|
but they would probably have started sucking had Ian lived, just as New Order mostly sucked with Ian dead.

6. I take that back. Hanoi Rocks for sure! |
|
Vince Neil killed their drummer in a drunk driving accident. They could've been huge.
Hanoi Rocks is one of my fave bands of all time.

scene, but this band beats 'em all, make-up and teased hair intact.

51. i have to agree with this |
|

57. I'm not as optimistic |
|
'Soup' may have just been a sophomore slump album, but it was horribly weak compared to the debut.
Hoon was awesome, as was the band as a whole, but that album was not encouraging.
IMO, of course. Some people really like 'Soup'

I thought that they had already broken up.

Not that I was particularly a fan, but they were about to release their debut major-label release when Andrew Wood died.. it's generally accepted that the label intended to spare no expense as far as marketing/promotion was concerned.

42. But didn't they then become Pearl Jam? |

So they did achieve success in spite of that?

53. well.. two of the members formed PJ.. but, PJ was signed by a different label, so.. |
|
while I'm sure the connections Gossard and Ament made in MLB helped, PJ was, for all intents and purposes, a different entity.

56. Yeah, Pearl Jam and Mother Love Bone were WAY different. |
|
Gossard and Ament contributed heavily to both bands, but Andy Wood and Eddie Vedder are vastly different in just about every way.
Basically, Stone and Jeff were damn lucky to have two opportunities to acheive success.

When you consider that they had just released what many consider to be their best album not long before Jim Morrison's death, it would be interesting to see what they still had in them and how they would have responded to the changing styles throughout the seventies. I've actually heard a couple of tracks from the Morrison-less Doors and think they're pretty good, but I don't think the public would consider the band to be the Doors w/o their longtime lead vocalist.
I also think Chicago's loss of Terry Kath was significant, although I'm sure there are more than a few DUers who think they pretty much always sucked so losing their guitarist couldn't have made that big of a difference! But, despite eventually regaining some of the commercial success they had had previously during the mid-eighties, they really seemed to lose their direction musically after Kath's death, and most of what they made after his death doesn't measure up to the music on their first eleven albums.

"Example" was somewhat derivative but had some classic ("Mighty K.C.", ironically about the death of Kurt Cobain, and "Orangeworker") songs. Had they gone on, they would have had a few more excellent albums in them: http://www.forsquirrels.net/bio.htmlhttp://www.forsquirrels.net/

There first album was released in 1957 and he died in February 1959. Between August 1957 and August 1958, Holly and the Crickets charted seven Top Forty singles.

If Paul hadn't blown his mind out in a car, I'm sure he would have made nice with John and Yoko and given us 20 years of great music.
Instead Billy Shears broke up the band and went on to a solo career that included "Ebony and Ivory", and "The Girl is Mine".

what would you do if I sang out of tune?
Ringo will always be my favorite. Saw him in concert a couple of years ago in Boston. Took my Mom, who never got to see The Beatles live. :(

I love Brian Johnson, but Bon Scott was the MAN.
But then, "Back In Black" would never have been.
Hmmm...

The development between their first and second (albeit really unfinished) albums was astonishing. They would likely have grown creatively, AND sold millions of records.

Duane was such an amazing guitar player, and so young when he died. It is hard to imagine what the Allman Bros. would have sounded like if Duane had lived.
I read recently that Duane was not killed instantly in his motorcycle accident. He actually made it home and was there for a few hours before dying. I never knew that.

It turned them from a band into a legend. And the band never had a chance to get old together and start to suck. (Unless you think they always sucked).
