If I remember my music history courses correctly, Bach still played in the time where music was forced into a certain structure (Baroque maybe?). Beethoven/Mozart times were much more unrestrained/etc. and allowed for much more artistic expression. Then again, you could pour 'musical subjectivity' all over this and still say that Bach played in greater times, but I'd still argue otherwise.

I still wouldn't claim the 70s were the pinnacle.
