but i think many will tell you that it was recorded that way due to having no money, not necessarily out of an aesthetic they were going for... That said, it was a glorious time in music, captured mistakes and all...

That's part of a musical experience, though, isn't it? I'm a member of several music websites (and film websites, as well, where you see similar ridiculousness), and if you're a raw artist you get ripped to threads if your shite doesn't sound like something Bob Rock produced in a $20k/day studio. Whether or not your music was actually good won't even be a consideration. With the proliferation of DAWs, you can literally make the timing of your music perfect. But why?

Some of the most exciting stuff has always been going on in basements and garages recorded on a 4-track with one microphone hanging from the ceiling of a room.
