I think you're right about Tom Waits
Steely Dan (before the re-form)?
I want to include Elvis Costello, who I think continues to make excellent records, but can't honestly say that I like anything as much as "This Year's Model".

I can't think of anyone that I REALLY love that I prefer their later
output.
But, I offer up... Tom Waits? I don't honestly have a lot by Waits
but it seemed to me that he got more eccentric musically as time went
and to my ears, also more interesting as his career went on...
Any Wait's fans agree, disagree??

That's a tough split. I'd still take the early years per Let it Be.
