My reasoning:

Jim Morrison: Already on the way out by the time he died.

Kurt Cobain: Probably would have had a nervous breakdown and become a recluse.

Janis Joplin: Blows out her voice from too much screaming and alcohol.

And that leaves Hendrix.

Had to go with Hendrix-- it might've been more jazz than rock, but great stuff just the same.

what you said.

and, mo'simply, on my part - I chose Joplin b/c she's the one I most wanted to hear more from as the years passed.
