Most improved players?


I have noticed that some performers have dramatically improved their craft over the years. For example, I believe that John Fogerty really learned to play guitar during those years he took off. Similarly, listening to Marshall Crenshaw's records in sequence demonstrates his growth on acoustic guitar while every time I see Pete Townshend he seems more impressive than before. Any other candidates for this list?

Interesting comment about Fogerty. I always thought that CCR sounded like a good garage band rather than a slick polished band. However, this is what I liked about them. The music seemed more honest. What you got on disc was what you heard live. Some bands are so heavily produced and mixed and equalized that their studio work isn't what they really sound like.

I saw an interview once with Pete Townshend. He was commenting about how poor his song writing was in the past. He felt that that was one element of his craft that was improving with time.
