Classic piece of vinyl you put on?
I've Got "American Beauty" playing right now.
(Truckin')
I can't even remember the last time I *saw* a vinyl.
Country and Western Stars. Various artists.
Reissue of The Ramones' first album. My father has quite a vinyl collection that I occasionally borrow, though I really should get my own player. I picked that up for him a few years ago for his birthday. Think I'll get him some Clash this year, if I can find any. And yes, I'm buying him albums that I myself would want to listen to. :lol:
Terri and I have over 200 albums, not including 45's.
My dad's is somewhere in that area, maybe just slightly less. I myself have a rather large collection of cassettes for someone who grew up in the age of CDs. Maybe only 50 or 60, but no one my age I know even has a cassette player, so I think that's pretty good for me, I think. If I do get a player for them, I will start picking up vinyls though. I always liked the sound quality. Maybe that's why I like playing in garage bands and making "low-quality" recordings. :D

I have some 8 track tapes. One has never been opened.

Yeah, I'm too young for 8-tracks, and my father never wanted to upgrade from vinyl until they stopped carrying them in stores. So, it was cassettes, then CDs. I know where to look to find vinyl though.

A couple weeks ago, I think. It was a nurse's costume by Leg Avenue, very hot and uncomfortable.

This is pretty much where my mind went first when reading the question.
what is this vi-nyl you speak of?
I guess the last piece of "classic" vinyl I played would be the Jeff Wayne musical War of the Worlds.
Last night, I played Minutmen's "Double Nickles on the Dime".
Blue Oyster Cult - On Your Feet or On Your Knees - was playing this weekend :wink:
I have a lot of my parent's albums. Heavy on the punk/metal for mom, BOC, Three Dog Night, the Ramones etc. Dad was a reverse hippie so we have the Beatles, Cat Stevens and the like.
Me, eh well, I have every Aerosmith album, Queen, Pat Benatar... You can se the 80's pattern right :lulz:
When I really got into music, cassettes had become the music media du jour. Which has probably been one of the worst formats ever. I would listen to some of my parents records, though, their collection had a lot to be desired. ABBA, The Bee Gees, some other Disco shit.

My mother, for some unknown reason, adored the Bee Gees. I didn't keep any of their albums... I just couldn't force myself.
my dad has a beegees dance techno remix cd in his car to torture me with on long car rides :x :x :x

I STILL
rock out cassette mixes & other tapes from way back.
TAPES
are a pretty great recording format. players can sometimes be shitty though, which f- tapes up.
I have never owned a turntable.
Well, besides that Fisher-Price one I keep seeing floating around the house. I don't even know if it works.
Mix tapes.
Man, those were the mating plumage of my youth.

I am baffled as to what kind of thing a "Reverse Hippy" might be. All I could come up with is someone who listens to Mama's and Papa's albums backwards, whilst trying not to choke on donuts. But I bet I'm wrong. :?
