I was mostly referring to current releases of the last 5 years or so.Most stuff is mastered to sound good on boom-boxes and cheap car-stereos.
Sadly, this is actually true. I worked at Geffen Records(Guns N' Roses, Peter Gabriel, Nirvana, Aerosmith, etc) for 6 years during the early 90's. Two of the biggest A&R reps in all rock & roll used to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars mixing and mastering releases(Sterling Sound) and then make many final decisions based on how they sounded in their cars.
This sounds ridiculous(and is), but in the business of Pop or Rock music, the first place people are going to hear most new releases is on the radio. And most of that is done in the car.
To tell the truth, most of those guy's hearing was ruined decades before when they used to go to clubs every night looking for new acts. Or, the monster rock tours of the 70's.
