A couple of months ago, I PVR'd his biography on A&E. The stuff he did in the 60's & early 70's was brilliant. Too bad he lost his "touch". (Or didn't keep up with the times)

Well, it's like the first guy to split the atom (Ernest Rutherford, yes I had to google it)... his heart was probably in the right place, but because of him, the world got the A-bomb.

Phil Spector may have advanced audio engineering, but his "wall of sound" has transmogrified into a audio bomb. Highly compressed pop albums.

Adding a little shoo-wop to Motown, good. "Everything louder than everything else" in pop now, bad. (Apologies to Jim Steinman for stealing a lyric to describe it)
