Growing up in the 60's-70's all I have to say is most of what comes out of my radio is SCHWAG!!! Nothing new as far as sound goes. in the 70's bands were willing to go out on a limb and experment with sound. nowdays no one seens to want to try!!
Could you inmagine what Jimi Hendricks,Janis Joplin,Brian Jones,Jim Morrison or any one of a dozen folk could do with todays technology,mixing boards,computers ect?? The thought crosses my mind what Hendricks would doing now.

We also have ClearChannel,Westwood One and other Radio megacorps to thank for things like "Lady Lumps and Junk in my Trunk"
