Hot take:
I have a hard time with "the old stuff is better" because, IMO, production gets worse the farther back you go, for the most part, and production values matter. Yeah, some older songs just hit different, I get that, but lets face it - old production sucked. Joe-Nobody with a scarlett, headphones, and free plugins who has never mixed anything in his life makes better sounding productions than we did 30+ years ago.
I mean, personally for me it depends one the music. I like it on the more extreme genres, but the closer it gets to rock and pop, the more I like the old school production where you could tell that someone was actually playing an instrument.
It's just something about albums now, that Rick Beato or someone can youtube could explain a lot better than me, I get what boomers mean when they talk about playing with soul. And that's why I made this tread, I'm understanding boomer opinions on music
