I think the problem is the death of live music. A band can't make a living any more, and it takes years to get really good.

Listen to live recordings from the 60's. It wasn't the crummy recording gear that produced that sound. Like the Rolling Stones "Got Live If You Want It." Whoa. That band was popular and gigging all the time. It makes a difference.

Today it is garbage in, garbage out. I think recording is better these days.
