Its the recording.
In an un-messed with recording (ie no processing like reverb etc) it depends on mic placement.
In fact everything depends on mic placement; with a good room and the right mic placement any processing (eq, reverb, compression) can become unnecesary/detrimental to the end result.
(Note: You will need an exceptional vocalist and a very good bassplayer to get away with not using a compressor and almost all digital recordings require a limiter.)
Unfortunately these days not many record companies/artists are prepared to pay for a good sounding room and the hours it may take to find the mic placement to get the desired result.
So much quicker to 'fix it in the mix'...
