I think Marc Bolan would have been a better example then, although, to wish anyone dead is terrible. I know what you mean by early stuff, but if we killed everyone off as soon as the songs started getting bad, then we would lose the possibility of more good stuff to come. If John Lennon had been shot in 1970 instead of 1980, we would have lost out on his later stuff, like the Double Fantasy album, that was so much better than the 1970's screaming and feedback that he was producing then.
