I’m with you there, even though I’ve never owned a linear tracking turntable or anything else so fancy.

Analog original recordings rule too.

What songs of the past 15 years are memorable?

I can only think of two:

Isn't it Ironic?
All I Wanna Do

How often have you heard either of these songs on the radio in - say - the last five years?

vinyl rules.

Two words: Antique Stores. Last weekend I took the Mrs. out to do her favorite thing: antique shopping. It was payback for her going to the Paul Rogers/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert a few weeks ago.

One of the antiqe shops we walked into had 20+ boxes of old albums. I spent more than 2 hours going through about half of them, and pulled out 40+ vinyl albums - all in reconditionable/cleanable/playable conditions that I wanted.

Classics from Boston, Queen, Peter Frampton (Frampton Comes Alive, standard issue when I was in high school) Paul Rogers, Queen, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, UFO (an album I lost during a move years ago..) and more.

Cost: $2 each. Ran them through the record cleaner and test played them all. Near perfect on my recently repaired Micro Seiki turntable.

I've heard Vinyl is outselling CD's in parts of Europe now, seems to be a resurgence in vinyl albums.
