Bradley Nowell. Sublime was so good, and none of the bands that have followed in their style have had the same lyricism that Nowell had, or have been able to really blend genres like they did to make something completely unique.

Johann Pachelbel. So many modern songs reuse the melody from his Canon in D. I just think, it'd be fun to let him listen to them. Would probably blow his mind to listen to modern music, to begin with, and then to have it be his melody, too. ๐
Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?
Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and SRV. Imagine what the blues and the world would be like with those 3 big hitters still around.
toots and the maytals
Eyedea
Liszt.
Chuck Schuldiner. Greatest death metal vocalist to ever live.
Peter Steele
Biggie Smalls
Stan Rogers. Would pretty much double the number of available sea shanties
Justin Townes Earle.
Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze
Nightbirde
SOPHIE. Hyperpop hasnโt been the same since her passing.
Max Bennett. He's not famous famous but he's well known enough in the jazz scene. He played with Frank Sinatra, Dizzie Gillespie, and recorded on countless studio sessions. I knew him personally and I think was his last student before he passed. Some people closer to him than me told me one of the last things he said was "I need to give jcabral9 his lesson" and it makes me tear up whenever I think about it. I was too young to understand most of his concepts--I wish I could know him as an adult and professional musician myself.
Piotr Grudziลski of Riverside. It's clear to me their discography went completely different way than it could have after he died being only 41.

Can't believe nobody else has mentioned him yet
Chuck Schuldiner, frontman of death metal pioneers Death, dude died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 34. I never had the chance to see them play live but their records are incredible.
Cliff Burton, Bass player of Metallica, died when the band's tour bus crashed and he was crushed underneath it. The band lost part of its soul and it took them a very long time to get over Cliffs death. Seeing videos of him playing live makes one understand what was lost, as he was an incredible musician.
On a more general note every artist that died very young, many made a big impact to their genre or even to a wider audience without it ever knowing.
Bob Marley.
JS Bach.
The only two I would consider otherwise are both alive (Lindsey Stirling and Amy Lee). They even have a collaborative piece ๐
Hendrix
Ricardo Iorio
Gabe Serbian
