Not only have these guys been consistent they've been much better - at least in my opinion.>>With very few exceptions, bands reach the limits of their talents
>>measured by their relative success. Kind of like individuals...I'm not sure about that there's this band called the Wipers that was pretty damn good and they were around for quite some time until their guitarist died. How about Billy Childish or the Mekons? Some more mainstream examples might be Laura Nyro, Townes Van Zant or LaVern Baker?
Give me rhythm or give me death!
