Whose death had the most profound effect on pop music?

Extra Credit: How would things have been different had this person not died at that time?

Elvis's death still seems to me to have had a large effect - not necessarily in a death/lament way, but in a first wave or rock & roll is dead way.. Maybe as the true start of the second generation of rock & roll?? Or maybe that's a few too many VH-1 specials talking...

Buddy Holly possibly? At least that's when rock lost its innocence more or less.

Mozart. Pioneered the lame-arse indie deathcult.
