You're missing my point. "Sound quality" is an entirely different thing than the quality of the music (composing and arranging skills). Speaking as someone who is a musician who plays keyboard instruments, and as someone who works in audio-video production in recording and post-production, my professional opinion is that the sound quality of the C64 leaves a lot to be desired (noise, buzz, low-resolution, etc.). -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
