For example, a band like Joy Division. Two masterpiece albums in the form of Unknown Pleasures and Closer, and the untimely death of Ian Curtis cut it all short. They were even heading into the direction that New Order eventually went in, and it would have been interesting to see what Ian Curtis would have done if they fully made the leap into electronic music while he was still alive.

For any mid 2000's metalcore fans out there I'm sure yall can agree that Catherine fits the answer to this question. Their album The Naturals was absolute perfection and then cancer had to be a piece of shit and take the vocalist from this world. Their follow up with a new vocalist, Inside/Out, had a couple of good songs but it just wasn't the same. Always wondered what that release would have been like with their OG vocalist.

Device.

This was an industrial band project that only released one album in 2013. This was made during the time Disturbed was on hiatus and David Draiman got to be a part of something new. Would've been nice to have seen what a second album could've been.

Might be a bit on the Zoomery side of cultural conversation compared to the rest of this thread, but the duo Her’s were tragically killed in a road accident while on tour in the US. They made songs that were cheesy but still emotionally resonant, which is a hard balance to hit.

Their music would blow up even more online in the years following their death, I know there was a lot of of TikTok buzz around them during the pandemic, when a bunch of bedroom pop artists were gaining a ton of traction. While I hate that platform, it can be pretty good for promoting music naturally when people aren’t gaming the system (which they’re doing all the time - fuck TikTok). I think some of their famous songs are still considered TikTok clichés, but I wouldn’t really know.

I didn’t even know they were dead until this year.

There’s always this conspiracy of labels preferring to promote artists who are dead because they can pocket more money from dead artists, and I think about that when one of their songs pop up.

The Knack - bangin hit, and couldn't handle the first month of tour together. Broke up.

Fully expecting no one in this thread to ever have heard of them: Made in heights Love their music. Unfortunately the duo got into a nasty fight about rights and royalties and split up. They're only really available on YouTube anymore.

Propellerheads - one excellent album in the 90s, one of the most iconic songs in The Matrix (the lobby scene), and then nothing.
