you cd be talking about motown or phil spector there too, mind ... story of phil spector playing someone or other his new, unreleased record (cd've been "and then he kissed me") - they asked him what that incredible persussion noise was + he replied "that's the sound of a million cash registers" or something like that ... y'know, formulas + production lines can be GOOD, when the ethos is on doing something NEW, altho i'd prob agree w/ you that most of it is crap right now
