Seriously, so many great suggestions from other people.

I'm going to throw out Neil Peart, although I'm not sure he'd appreciate it. Selfishly, I'd love to have him back.

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. πŸ™ƒ

Orpheus. I bet he’d do great fronting a metal band.

Chuck Schuldiner. Greatest death metal vocalist to ever live.

Piotr GrudziΕ„ski of Riverside. It's clear to me their discography went completely different way than it could have after he died being only 41.

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.

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.

Can't believe nobody else has mentioned him yet

Stan Rogers. Would pretty much double the number of available sea shanties

Ricardo Iorio

JS Bach.

The only two I would consider otherwise are both alive (Lindsey Stirling and Amy Lee). They even have a collaborative piece πŸŽ‰
