I'm not suggesting that a particular era, genre, or artist is "as good as it gets" artistically. Just pointing out a few of the differences between the production of todays music in relation to that of the past.

Agree, although i don't think that has anything to do with the message of their songs which is the topic of this thread.
I personally luv old school punk, i luv how the drums sound cheap and awful, i think some music of the past was enhanced by their limitation (production wise i mean) the lack of refinement added to the ambience, nowadays music is too refined. there is a raw element that gets lost in the translation.
