I mostly do not really care for those. I like the dirty clean sound on the first Hendrix record and that probably was not even a Marshall.
If it was, it was not pushed to the limit.
Those sounds that come out of an amp which is being pushed into distortion in the power tubes are out of control and the bass turns to mud.

Yes
It is easy to do that. If you have the wrong amp or other gear.
ACDC, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Who, Tool, etc are all bands that used power amp overdrive extensively.
Power amp overdrive is a lot more dynamic than preamp distortion. But it requires the right technique and gear.
