Musically I would say Jimi Hendrix and John Bonham. Hendrix was just beginning to evolve and who knows where Bonham would have taken Zeppelin into the 80's.
Going back I would say bluesman Robert Johnson and jazz virtuoso Charlie Christian who died at 26.
Lenny Breau also. Can't imagine how more out there he could get though. Maybe so out that he would be in.
