It gradually turns out, that basically the only reason for that is, that he gets sent a lot of stuff where people try to polish their music with digital production gimmicks. Even apart from his ridiculously smug dismissal of everything programmed (although I agree that programmed imitations of instruments do mostly sounds bad), this thread is just about some pet peeve drenched in bias and has nothing really to do with the supposedly overall declining quality of the genre.
I don't think that pointing that out is as much a dick move, as starting this ridiculous discussion in the first place.

The genre of progressive rock laid out in the 70's has fallen completely out of the popular consciousness, we can agree on that?
Something happened, and I do think it is worthy of discussion. Why not here? I am interested in what others think. Many of the artists we work with have similar dissent.
By the way, Spock's beard guys have worked with guys from our label.
