Anybody still collect/listen to vinyl? What are your must have records? This is a decent list, although somewhat sexist in title. My selections are in the comments.
Yes
My collection is not as large as I would like but certainly a work in progress
Love the vinyl sound, true analog recordings played through a good hifi system ?
My long passed buddy had over 2000. He used to bring me plastic covers to protect my albums that he knew had monetary value.
All gone in divorce.
My baby daughter (30), recently got a player and vinyls and set up an homage corner with Beatle posters, etc

I have a large collection of vinyl...just can't let them go for the covers alone! I miss the art and the reading, especially the double albums...as a matter of fact, when I taught reading in a prison, I found I could get the inmates interested by bringing album covers...this isn't a must have list...more of a "memories list"...some of the music was just terrible, but they meant something to me...
Iron Butterfly-In a Gadda da Vida
Marshall Tucker - Carolina Dreams
Beatles-Rubber Soul (actually, I have all of them...)
Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams
Joni Mitchell - Hejira
ABBA-Arrival
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley
Cream - Fresh Cream
Gary Puckett - Woman, Woman
just realzed I would need a spreadsheet...ha ha ha
I also have some 78's...mostly speeches by Hitler and Churchill
and I have my Dad's albums--everything from Mario Lanza to Mitch Miller & his Orchestra, and of course, Elvis (my dad looked like Elvis and was his long distance cousin)...
and my FIL's albums...big band stuff, mostly since he was a professional drummer
so yeah...
@Gooniesnvrdie What a tough gig that was...I also taught math...it was the GED program...I don't recommend it, and thank goodness there are those that love it....
@Gooniesnvrdie I did it out of college, too...but I got paid $15 an hour...in 1976...that was serious money...to be honest, I don't think anyone there benefited...they just wanted out of their cells with a woman for an hour a week...I was so young and naive...I was also attacked so that was not a good time...I prefer volunteering with my wallet now...
