Personally, I feel the effects choice AND treatment with those effects lends as much to the feeling of "when" a song was made.
Effect sounds do change "with the times." Sometimes in a new way, sometimes to give you a "throw back" type of sound.
I've actually been a bit surprised with some of the videos like what you posted Floyd. I would NOT have know THAT was how the effects sounded. In the mix, they sound so different to me.
Great topic for a post.
