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.

Drums are very physical and I am amazed that Ginger Baker was able to do the Cream reunion or that Charley Watts continues to work for the Stones at such an advanced age.
Bruford, IMO, is much more than "also a great drummer."
Have you heard his work with the King Crimson quartet or trio?

The most amazing drum solo I've heard to date was when Buddy Rich appeared on the Tonight Show back in the early eighties when Johnny was still on. He was 63 then. His speed was incredible but his timing was phenomenal. Just astonishing. He was and is imo the best yet.

Plastic Ono Band, Love, Camper Van Beethoven, Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, Cream; the Beatles were at a zenith so it's not like they disbanded before having created a volume of great music, but of any band the Beatles are my choice of a band I wish could have continued to produce one or two more albums.
