Which musician retired too soon?

I don't know if Syd Barret actually retired or just kind of lost it.

Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwin I think are in the same boat (maybe I'm wrong). Instead we have Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Beethoven

'Who would you like to have seen continue in the music industry, that left already?'

Kurt Cobain

Nrchy, long time no talk to. I have to go along with Hooper. Cat Stevens is one that I think if he would have continued playing would have created some really interesting stuff. I think he did with what he has done but who can tell where he would have gone. To have him drop out of the music scene due to his religious beliefx is commendable but I wish he would have keep on playing. I'll be up to GB on the weekend of the 25th, maybe see you then.

Bossman

Hendrix, Morrison, Elliot, Joplin.
