It's hard to tell if the conversation above is purely related to reverb as a master bus effect, or mixing so that reverb is not noticeable. I'm reading both in the above responses. I hope it's the former, because if it weren't for absolutely noticeable reverb in mixes, we would be deprived of lots of ear-joy.

What would Phil Spector's wall of sound be without noticeable reverb?

Or the Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations'?

Or countless Motown hits?

One could even argue the noticeable gated reverb of the late 80's was key to a 5 year or so period of hits.

Or any number of Steve Lillywhite's produced albums from the 80's:

Contrast any one of those songs with characteristically dry songs from the 70's. Steely Dan often used as a reference, but even some of their songs have noticeable reverb on individual tracks.
