Janis only had two albums when she died, too. Kozmic Blues and Pearl was the extent of her output on disc when she checked out prematurely. Now I'm not saying Amy Winehouse compares with the Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison or Cobain in terms of talent. She certainly had a lot of it, though. And like the others, left before she lived up to her full potential.
Morrison may have sung that the end is always near, but Hendrix lived that philosophy with deadly certainty. He recorded nearly everything, and was hardly ever without a guitar. So his body of work remains unmatched. Even so, there's so much more he might have gifted us with if he lived beyond that witching year.
