I think the mastering in the 70's and 80's rock could have been a bit hotter.
But nowhere near how it is today. Most any music will be ruined by extreme loudness. But a practically uncompressed sound is non-detrimental. In fact an uncompressed sound does have it's own appeal.
Most mastering in the 90's was a just about right IMO. Maybe that's part of what makes 90's music so appealing.
