"DX7 High Tines and digital gated reverb" ?  
Do you mean the DX trying to be a Rhodes piano "tine" sound?  The DX7 e-piano sound is more like a bell than a tine.  There were a lot of shitty songs that had that DX bell sound, but they would be shitty songs no matter what sound was used.  I think that the DX bell sound can be just the right sound.  (Used nicely on several Peter Gabriel recordings)
