I would never rave over heavily arranged styles. But....they have their place - for instance big band and swing (if thats your thing) But generally, unless your trying to emulate an orchestra or big band most music recorded in the past 50 years can be covered by a group of 4 or 5 musicians; Lead and rhythm guitar, bass, drums and keys - thats the sound I prefer which is why a stripped back sound is for me 9 times out of 10.

The great thing about a good arranger is they can do both and with the quick touch of a slider you have an unplugged or stripped back natural style.
