geo steve,
To be honest, I was unable to tell where your opinion of Waronker landed. A Steve Kururtz expressed this thought in All Music Guide :
"And with his creative leanings and production credits Waronker became known as an ally for artists at a time when the industry was being bombarded by "corporate suits" who knew little and cared less about rock music. Yet, Waronker's dedication to the artists and his reputation for discussing music over business led Warner Brothers and its subsidiaries such as Reprise to be viewed as a positive family atmosphere where music, not money, was still number one."
