I get where you’re coming from, and I definitely appreciate the rawness in those early albums. But I'm wary of the idea that the best art comes from discomfort or suffering. If the message to artists is that they need to be in a state of discomfort to create their best work, that’s kind of toxic. If we tell artists that success, love, or even just peace of mind might kill their creativity - that’s scary - and doesn't have to be true: George Harrison's a great example. I'd push back against the idea that their art can't be "pure" just 'cos they're no longer uncomfortable. I think you're bang on with the audience aspect - I agree that in the beginning they don't have an audience - and this gives them freedom - which they then inevitably factor into the next work - but that's different from hunger and discomfort.
