I'm with @Butternut-Squash on this! I know it's unfair because the 60s were such an explosion of creativity, from Dick Dale to Hendrix, but I think as a decade it suffers from the same thing as The Beatles: fatigue by association with the baby boomers.
Also if you like polished recording techniques in rock music, that didn't really start to happen until the 70s. For me, rock records become listenable in about 1973. Prior to that the recording makes me feel like I'm indulging in nostalgia.
Weirdly, I do not feel like that when I listen to old blues 78s or swing stuff from the 40s, or even the old Eddie Cochran stuff from the 50s. Just something about the 60s sound tweaks my bum wrong.
