I'm a product of the vinyl era. There was something about those records that had...I dunno..."depth". Life. A soul. I don't get that with CDs. 8-tracks, on the other hand, sucked. I don't miss them at all. Cassettes? Although better than 8-track, by far, I still don't miss 'em. Cds do have excellent sound quality. But they don't "breathe".

Oh, and I still have the Zenith stereo that I bought with my $2.90 an hour McJob, back in '79. Turntable...intact. 8-track...intact. Cassette deck...intact. Tuner...intact. Along with those giant assed Allegro speakers. I'll still go down to the basement, from time to time, and listen to My Pink Floyd, my Meatloaf, my Billy Joel, and my Boston LPs.
