Bands you wish had lasted longer

a band such as Led Zeppelin who could have continued to function as a band was solely contingent on the fact that Bonham died.  How can you say that thinking about Zepp (using them as an example) continuing as a band was not a real option, but a band that hated each other and never wanted to work with each other was a real option?  It would have been a real option if the band could get along, and it would have been an option if one of the band members didn't die.  They are both "real" options.  Plus it's pretty stupid to think about what living band members would be doing after they broke up considering the fact that most of them wouldn't want to work with each other, and would never get back together again, in that sense THAT is not the "real" option.  I never think about what would have happened to Pink Floyd beacuse i knew they would never join again so thinking about it is a moot issue.  It's much more intriguing to think about what would have happened to Led Zeppelin, who WOULD have continued functioning as a band if Bonham wasn't an alcoholic.  It's always alot worse when a tragedy such as a death can stop the impetus of a band that had so much respect for the cohesion of the group and its members, that being led zeppelin without him could never be.  That's much more tragic and interesting to think about. 

Nobody else but me mentions Aphrodite's Child?

Do you imagine another conceptual album like 666 instead all the crap Demis Roussos made?
