The industry has always been just that, an industry. It is a business and so those involved with it are seeking money. They released what was marketable at the time, as do industries now. Just because you found the marketable music of whatever era more likeable than the marketable music of today doesn't mean it wasn't the same crap. You'd be naive to think Pink Floyd weren't busy wondering about what to wear at their performances or how to part their hair. It was all just as prefabricated as today's. Besides, there were plenty of great bands from back in the day that we haven't heard and probably never will. Just like today there are great artists you've never heard.
