What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon? (www.youtube.com)

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.

System of a down. I mean they're not gone but they've only produced music for like 6-7 years and nothing since.

I think they're pretty much gone, they've said they can barely work together due to creative differences. They released 2 singles out of the blue 3 years ago in support of Armenia and I thought there was a chance of a reunion, but I highly doubt it

IIRC Daron ended up being a huge Trump supporter and fascist, so they refuse to make new music together.

Man, I absolutely love System of a Down. At the very least, I'm happy that those 6-7 years produced so many bangers

They still put on one hell of a show, though.

Just enjoy what they made without giving in to record companies and turning to shit, only playing what they wanted.

If they'd let vocalist sing instead of the tiny terrible guitarist.
