I don't know if any one of you would like to go back when The Carpenters were all around the charts with their safer than safe sounds or when FM radio played it too safe with it's Styx/Journey overkill when it turned into a business in The US. As for the so-called Magical 60's that did have a lot of great stuff achieving success in an era when the industry was far from it's mega-million dollar world, there was a lot of crap to rebel against as well, trust me.

problem is, i think the Carpenters were f
ucking geniuses
anybody who so easily put them off has probably never studied any of their songs to see how complex they are
and Journey and Styx are alright with me, well,
Kilroy Was Here-era Styx anyway
yes, the 60s had a lot of fluffy pop schmop, but they were fun
