"The rockers. . .view an overly-produced-sounding-recording as some kind of inauthentic representation of the genre. . ."
Unless a rock recording is from a live performance, this seems to me an ingenuous view. Even on a performance stage, rock musicians are totally reliant on electronic processing for their sound; in a studio the processing is even far greater. If it doesn't sound "slick" to the consumer, it's because the engineers have taken great care to make sure it doesn't. Just my view.
