Music to my ears

So I was watching Say Anything the other night with my wife, I haven't actually seen that movie other than the part where Lloyd is holding up the boom box playing the Peter Gabriel song "in your eyes".  I like the words to the song.  My problem with the song is, it is oversynthesized.  I don't understand the fascination we had back in the 80's to play as many electrified instruments as we did.  A little synthesizer goes a long way.  I would never build an entire song out of synthesized sounds.  There is nothing better than a nice acoustic guitar being played with little to no effects.  Don't even get me started on fake drums. I want to become a music producer so that I can put music back into music.  A real piano sounds better than anything korg or roland can come up with.  I wonder how many great songs there would be out there if people actually played them with real musical instruments?  That is why, as I have gotten older, I have gained an appreciation for the singer/songwriter.  People who write their own songs and play their own songs. http://youtu.be/VOCXKfatA6w  this is an example of what I am talking about.  A great song written and performed by the same guys.  I also hate autotune.  People who can't sing shouldn't be allowed pass themeselves off as singers.
