Which musician retired too soon?


There are a number of people who used to record and who people enjoyed that are no longer out there for one reason or another. People like Syd Barret or Cat Stevens come to mind.

I know there are a lot of people that I wish had retired, but who would you like to have seen continue in the music industry, that left already?

It didn't get much airplay but "Chipmunk Punk" was the anthem for the late 70's and 80's punk movement.
Blacmore's Night has done some incredible music. Candace Night is the best singer he's had since Ronnie James Dio. They still do Rainbow material in concert.
There certainly are some great musicians who have 'preceeded us in death.' It's sad to think of how many are no longer with us.

Another gentleman that I really enjoyed was Steve Taylor, especially the "I Predict 1990" lp. He is alive and well but is only producing as far as I know.

There certainly could be a long list of people who I would like to see be more productive. Some of my favorite musicians haven't released new material in a long time.
Most people who have made a claim to have followed religious convictions here have been rediculed for their choice, or called narrow minded bigots. I wonder why more people don't speak up!?!
I began to wonder how many people are still out there recording and touring, but getting no help from the various labels. I know Arlo Guthrie is in Door County on a regular basis. Who else is still touring that I don't know anything about them?!?
