A really obvious one but... what if Jimi Hendrix was still alive? I think he would've released some great, influential music throughout the 70s. Though, like most of his 60s peers, I think he would have kind of floundered in the 80s and released a bunch of cheeseball stuff. I think he might have regrouped and put out one really good album in the 90s before lapsing into nostalgia tours and long gaps between forgettable releases.

Yeah, Hendrix would've surely had more in the bank so to speak.
I saw a few artists speaking about this in some VH1 interview a while back (there's only slash that I remember) and almost all just said that he'd would've started making crap I found that a little harsh

Chula Vista

If John Bonham had lived Zeppelin would have stayed together for a few more years and really tarnished the crap out of their legacy.

Toward the end Hendrix would have to be basically carried to the stage/studio by handlers because he was so drugged out. He would have had to have quit the drugs in order to continue on.

I like to imagine that Hendrix would have fallen in with the more experimental jazz crowd. Some albums with Miles Davis, some with members of Soft Machine, something with Brötzmann in the vein of Last Exit with him instead of Sharrock. Then at some point an improvised noisy solo guitar album...
