... are what some people enjoy most. And to them, those kinds of successful recordings are "good recordings". Obviously so, at least to me.Enjoying a recording for what it is (or even, for what it is NOT) is one type (out of many types) of enjoyment. Record appreciation is (or can be) as much about fantasy or personal preference as about reference to any live event or thing.
You've stated your preferences, and your references. Other people have stated theirs. I see nothing more to this issue, than that.
The enjoyment of others may actually be of a different kind than the type of enjoyment you favor, but all types may in fact be *true enjoyment of true art*. And really, what else matters in record appreciation?
The common interest shared by all types of audiophiles, I think, is an interest in the preservation of the dynamics contained within any given recording. IMO, this is just another way of saying that every true audiophile has an elemental interest in transparency of reproduction. High quality systems are transparent enough to reveal the complete structure of all of the music contained in any type of good recording. It's what we all want - or dare I say, SHOULD want.

I've specialized in live 'location' recording for decades. I'm not particularly interested in multi-track studio recording, although it can be fun, but there's just too much grunt work involved which doesn't interest me as an ongoing career endeavor. On the other hand, I'm happy, and actually energized, by setting a bunch of mics and speakers and mixing board stuff for a live event. To me, it's the creativity in the moment that I like. But put me in a studio with 30 tracks to mix and no musicians around playing music - yawn.
That's not to say that I don't appreciate, admire and even revere the work of top studio engineers. Some of their work is absolutely wonderful audio art.
On the other hand, there are a lot of both close-mic'd and minimally mic'd recording which absolutely suck from a sonic/soundscape perspective.

First of all, I doubt that you are capable of adequately summing up my position here. Your fury will continue to get in the way of your doing that.It is on record that, if/when anyone contradicts or challenges your opinions on almost anything, your own prejudices won't allow you to maintain a civil conversation. As usual, you resort to the use of personal attacks whenever you don't like or agree with what someone else is saying. Please try to restrain yourself. Don't go out and suffocate your wife, or your cats, or anything like that on our account. Try to maintain a grip, this is not the Inmate Central forum.
Whew! Onwards...
Basically, all I am saying is that EVERYTHING matters. And because everything matters, the rules we adopt for the making of recordings and/or for the effective playback of various types of recordings can vary somewhat.
