One often wonders what would have happened if Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "Big Bopper" Richardson did not die in that untimely airplane crash in 1959. I personally think it would have likely continued the dominance of rock and roll by American artists for many years afterwards.

As such, their passing left a HUGE hole in new rock and roll artists during the early 1960's, one that was finally filled by four young lads from Liverpool in the UK named The Beatles.

I think Bob Dylan revolutionized R&R, and would have regardless. But it would have been interesting to see how some of the 50s icons transformed into the mid to late 1960s. It was less than pretty for most of them.
