Does anyone remember their first vinyl record? 45 or otherwise. Mine was Sugar, Sugar by the Archies! Can't believe I'm announcing that publicly!

It depends on the music one enjoys.
It is also thought using vacuum tubes give a cleaner sound that solid state. One would have to have extraordinary ears to hear the difference.

There is something nostalgic of putting on a record, setting the needle into the groove. It is not the same as just pressing a button.

@OwlInASack Yes my daughter got a record player for Christmas from her beloved and now she is hunting for old records.
Well, I think most of the best music was made in the 70's and 80's. There's still good music being done but the mainstream music is too artificial. It's a lot easier for someone to record his own material but now the impact is less. The music industry has changed a lot as well. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. I still prefer the old ways though.

Not sure that it was better, but those little skips and grooves are music to my ears! Have you listened to Gretta Van Fleet?

The music was great! There is worthy stuff being made now, but the corporate machine ignores what they aren't assured will sell. (I am like a kid in a candy store with the internet at my searching finger tips!). You might be onto something though. It could be the song choices, rather than the scratchy medium that is driving this retro craze.

I've inherited probably 1000 albums from family.

Music was better when auto tune didn’t exist, and when singers wrote their own music and could play their own instruments...

Today's music is just not Music... women do stripper songs, men can't sing like men and a melody last 4 beats. But I lived Vinyl and I am Okay is Gone and Past. Don't Bring The Media.... Bring the Performers!!!!
@Steveo270 Definitely. Most music today should hardly be considered music.
You are right about auto tune. The other half is just silly. No Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Bennett, Elvis, Cocker, Joplin, Righteous Brothers, Charles, Franklin and the list goes on and on and....
@Sticks48 People that need AutoTune to sound on pitch have no business professionally singing, much less making studio recordings. I once heard a guy in a live band performance that was a fair guitar player, but couldn't sing worth shit and had no business doing any lead vocals. But he and his wife were both in the band and had founded it, so he got to sing a lot due to the band politics. So he compensated with Auto Tune and his voice didn't even sound human. I got up and left after a while. i don't know which is worse, someone using a ton of Auto Tune or someone singing off-key for every song.
@TomMcGiverin Taylor Swift and Shania Twain owe their entire careers to auto-tune. I hate auto-tune.
@Sticks48 I don't like either of them, but then I hate country music across the board.
Stop listening to top 40 mainstream radio. Throw your radio in the trash where it belongs.
If you're not finding anything good it's because you're not making an effort to find it, and with the internet there's no excuse.
This is true, but vinyl is making a comeback. From what I can find out this will work well for the rich and others who have too much money. It's not cheap. Neither is the playback equipment.

I wouldn't go back to Vinyl. Everything can be Found Digitized now besides... today's music is just not music... women do stripper songs, men can't sing like men and a melody last 4 beats. Not My Music... but Vinyl Media has its Era and is Passed.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I think the move back to vinyl is more along classical music venues. They say it sounds better. I don't see the music industry as going back to records like we had before. I prefer digital myself and my ears seem happy.
@DenoPenno My daughters have a lot of Rock Vinyls, new, old and reissued... millennials and fads!
