savage, you ahve just described the plight of artists who enter the art world, make a big splash with their paintings or sculpture, around age 25-30 and then spend the rest of their lives trying to live up to that early success or ideal.
it can be terrible.
I am aiming for success and riches and wealth (moderate) at age 40-45, while having spent my early art career in total obscurity. I have been very succesful at the total obscurity!
the wort world is very fickle, and the music world, with it's hard core fans, can be almost as fickle.
every new record sonic youth has put oiut since sister has been criticized and r4ejected by FANS who then change their minds, after hearing the album more and more.
I think with simple songs, where the draw and the rush come from the energy of the performance and the energy and vibe of the players (Ramones songs, the stooges, minor threat etc) they sound better without too much rehearsal, without too much tweaking and work. just hit record and start rocking.
On complex music, music that depends upon well constructed chord progressions and well played instrumentation, more practice and rehearsal and care when recording is necesary.
