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.

Birmingham’s own Nineteen Forty-Five. Not sure what happened; a couple of the members went on to backup Amy Ray for her solo career, another released her own solo album.
Two amazing albums and handful of other releases.
