Bands where U say

I've yet to see a thread like this so here goes: what bands come to mind where you think what might have been? Perhaps they disbanded too soon, or a member or members died, leaving unrealized potential. I often wonder what would have come of the pretenders had honeyman-scott and farndon not bought the farm. I could list others, but would rather hear from you.

The direction where Little Feat might have gone had Lowell George Lived on...Sad
The Rolling Stones [for better or worse] had the original line-up continued...
The Marshall Tucker band had they not lost the Cadwell's...
Lynyrd Skynyrd if the plane had been properly fueled!!!

This is becoming a sad thread to me as i sit here realizing that there are way too many more that i could list!

A lot of great references. I thought Morphine was really original and fantastic. How about Tommy Bolin or even Elvis. Although Elvis probably would have been painful through the disco era. I also think Lucky Dube would have continued to make a global impact.

It seems to happen when they reach a plateau of excellence. It's then they feel they're done with each other and need to move on. Very sad and disappointing. I've always felt betrayed by this.

Unless of course it's a matter of their demise.

Little Feat, they were just hitting they're stride when Lowell passed. He was one of the great white bluesman and more than respectable slide guitar player. Waiting for Columbus reminds me of what they could have been. The band had incredible energy with Lowell as they're front man.
