Message: [QUOTE="FairView, post: 2821512, member: 899"] I love listening to albums and I have many that I love from beginning to end. If I had to pick an all-time favorite, it would be Billy Joel Turnstiles. When I have some time, I will bore you all with a more extensive list. There is something about the experience of an album. I had to work on having my 17-year-old son listen to an entire song. Now we're working on albums. On the vinyl issue – the whole debate on vinyl being superior to digital is bunk. It may be better than lots of streaming because streaming is compressed. Some streaming is so compressed it drives me crazy. There is also quality loss with a crappy bluetooth component. I prefer to listen to CDs. I have a fairly decent set of speakers and receiver to enjoy them on. CDs sound better than vinyl – and that's before the inevitable wear and tear that denigrates vinyl's sound. I retired my Dual 1249 and Discwasher to a box in the basement more than a decade ago. The one thing I do miss about vinyl was the debate over which side to play. In college (graduated in '79), there were sometimes heated arguments over it. Fleetwood Mac, Rumors, Silk Degrees and Katy Lied were the most hotly argued, if memory serves. After school, it was The Cars, Damn the Torpedos, Beauty and the Beat, Candy O, I'm the Man and Blondie that were argued. Hell, I can even remember arguing over Off the Wall. One last note, while I still enjoy Dark Side of the Moon, it was more enjoyable back when I got high. [/QUOTE]
