No! Why, because of their perfectionism? Dude, virtually
everybody is a perfectionist. Johnny Ramone was a perfectionist for JC's sake. Paul Westerberg, for all the shambolic nature of some of his work, is a rabid perfectionist - he wants the mistakes to be perfect. Lucinda Williams spent I don't know how many years doing and redoing
Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.
Back to
Pretzel Logic, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Through With Buzz", "With A Gun", "Monkey In Your Soul" - they all rock! It is true, however, that later Steely Dan got too damn focused on instrumental precision... and that's when the band ceased to exist, at least in the studio.
