In your opinion, which musician would have created the most profound change in music had they not died when they did?

I admit I'm no music scholar, but I was listening to 50s & 60s the other day and wondered. So many artists left us too early. But two that come to mind for me immediately are Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix. I wonder how the sounds of the 60s would have played out if Holly was in the mix. Similarly, the 70s would have sounded quite different if Hendrix was making more music. Thoughts?
