There is good reason to have such feelings about music, however. In the last 10-15 years autotune has really become common, and it has not done good things for mainstream music. At the same time, the quality of the masters from around 1970 and later are good enough that a modern re-master has quality as good as anything recorded today. This gives music from that era staying power it wouldn't otherwise have.

> the quality of the masters > a modern re-master Only the best of the best is getting a re-master today. Of course it sounds great. Survivor bias in action. And to the parent poster's point -- we only remember the good things. We tend to forget all of the alcoholism, abuse, and misery in relationships -- there was no divorce, or it was rare. Car accidents were just as common and your giant chrome landship killed you and the people you hit. Whole lotta institutional biases that were pretty blatant.
