Kurt Corbain - untimely
and I disagree with you on Bon Scott - untimely

Yea, Bon Scott is a tough one. He's the ultimate hard rock singer. Perphaps the lyricial equivalent of Bukowski...raunchy, blue collar, humorous, and right on the money. His live performances were tops, judging by video records. I'd say he was Jim Morrison's equal, at least.
But I don't know how well he would have aged. Could he have kept his style fresh as he grew older? I don't know. Bukowski certainly did, so why not Bon?
