What do you think the best album released after its principal writer/performer died is?
I'm listening to "I am the Cosmos" by Chris Bell and it's not only heartbreaking that he died, but that the album didn't see the light of day until 1992. So that's my vote.
-
Was Joy Division's Closer posthumous? If so, that's probably my vote.
-
for me it would be Elliott Smith
although I can't think of many in this category

Tupac

Totally! I love that one that they put out after he passed on.

"I am the Cosmos" by Chris Bell
What I came in here to post. I wish I could go back in time and give Chris Bell a big hug.
-
Two choices for me:
"Interstellar Space" by John Coltrane and "Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963" by Sam Cooke.
-
I'm not sure how many I've actually heard, but George Harrison's "Brainwashed" immediately comes to mind.

You're on the right track, but you've got the wrong Beatle.

Haha, well played!

P.S. I'd also add that Del Shannon's "Rock On" is pretty excellent. Produced by Jeff Lynne and Mike Campbell.
-
I should at least nod to Gram Parson's Grievous Angel.

...because Kevin Allin's work was crying out to be digitally re-mastered.

Lee Marvin?
Yah, remember when he was in Paint Your Wagon? He got tired of the tough guy stuff and all he wanted to do was sing his little heart out:

Come to think of it, maybe he should've checked in with Leonard Cohen instead.

You try to say that doesn't look like mustache-period Lee Marvin and you'll find yourself in trouble, partner.
