Certainly much of the 1960s product was dross, and one-hit wonders like, say, the Strawberry Alarm Clock have been deservedly forgotten.
There are people out there who have spent several thousand dollars in stomp-boxes trying to get their axes to sound like that wonderfully overdriven lead guitar. (Now, that damn Farfisa is another story, but given the technology of the times, and some brilliant mixing, it's still beats the snot out of anything Vox produced, regardless of the color of their keys!)
