I think it's important to remember that from the 60's, through the first half of the 90's, the internet was not a factor in bringing music into the public domain. What you heard was (mostly) filtered through radio DJ's and publishers. So a lot of the 'crap', as well as some very worthy material, never made it into the public eye.
Today of course, it's all right there in front of us. The baby AND the bathwater; which means sometimes wading through a lot more bathwater! There's an upside to this (IMO) which is that a lot of great music from previous decades, that at the time got overlooked for one reason or another, can now be found on the internet, along with 'new' music.
