Frankly, if I may say so, the OP poster is a direct product of the 90s and 00s, where music was more a technology war than anything else. Compression, digital effects etc., those things taught some listeners that music has to be a surgically constructed entity, sort of a Joan Rivers of audio.
My suggestion would be to try to break out of that notion. The 70s were hands-down the best era for music, where there was a confluence of tradition, experimentation and maturity happening that producing a stunning array of good music.
