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.

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster

Their second album, Rise of the Eagles is amazing, but their lead guitarist left, they didn't make an album for another 7 years, and by then, it was too late :/

I also like The Cooper Temple Clause, but their third album after the bassist (Didz Hammond) left to do other stuff was shit, with a couple of decent tracks. Then they broke up.

Sugarcult.

They never got the same amount of recognition as other SoCal pop punk acts from the same era. Likely because Start Static was a phenomenal debut album, but the next (and last) two they followed it up with were kinda shit. Memory and Dead Living were the only two good songs that came out of Palm Trees And Power Lines and Lights Out respectively - and it's no surprise they fell off the face of the planet.

Would love to see them record a new album.

I would've also said The Higher but they got back together recently and put out this banger.

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.

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.

Queen

I mean sure they had so many contributions to rock, but they still had SOOO much more in them and Freddie Mercury had so much raw talent creating music he probably had at least 10 albums more in his death bed
