I was thinking Jimi as soon as I saw the thread start taking the direction it was taking. Of course he was one of the most brilliant musicians ever, and he was only 27 when he died. John Bonham and Keith Moon were in their early 30s, Janis Joplin was 27.

John Coltrane was 41 when he died, and there's no telling what he could have accomplished if he had lived as long as Dizzy Gillespie or Miles Davis.

Elliott Smith was in his early 30s when he died, and I believe Jeff Buckley was only 30.

Glad I'm not a musician.
