Cut one last album?
Randy Rhoads was 25 when he died. He was just starting to develop himself as a guitarist. When he played in Quiet Riot his playing was pretty conventional. It was only when he started playing live with Ozzy that he bloomed.
Back in 1981 I had a live tape of the concert that was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1981 through the tape trade circuit. Parts of that concert were later released as part of the āTributeā album in 1987.
In 1981 when we first heard the tape my friends and me were astonished at the live versions of the songs and the way Randy was playing them. We never heard something like that. Thatās when his name became established. Unfortunately he died on March 19, 1982.

Imagine not just one more album but if heād made it into the rest of the 70ās, 80ās and 90ās making music
Itās the body of work there may/ would have been that we miss and at least some of it would have been amazing
Of rock/pop artists who havenāt been mentioned yet (esp. John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix)? Maybe Gene Clark.
Grant Green
Gone at 43 - he was just getting started and I treasure all that he left behind for us to enjoy.

John Lennon. He would be President now. (The Lennon Amendment to the constitution would have made this possible.)
But the answer is really Joe Strummer.

Got me there. I changed composers mid-thought, deciding Beethoven had too good a run to qualify, without getting all the way to Wolfgang. Thanks for the catch!
