Got a decent collection, every Beatles Album, Zep Album, Doors album that I know of on Vinyl. My pops is crazy, has prob 6 to 700 albums. He just picked up a player that has software to record it to his comp to. Stuff sounds better on vinyl I think

Nice! Not a big Beatles fan but I'm looking for Zeppelin II, III, and Houses of the Holy. Also would like to get ahold of some Def Lep. Can't part with my Metallica though

Think I Have a extra Zep II album kicking around. Pm me your info And she is yours. Has a scratch through one song but she is yours if you want it.
Well, I have a few hundred records, never counted. Due to my age I pre-date "vinyl".
I was born in the shelac resin era when music came on 78 rpm records. Records were fragile and would break if mishandled.
Prob'ly 100+ 78's dating back to the 1920's in my collection. No Edison cylinders, LOL.
The "holy grail" of 78rpm collecting would be the Beatles or Rolling Stones early hits on 78, yup, but if I had one or two , I'd be able to buy down the "stimulus-porkulus) package if sold.
In the late'40's LP's (33-1/3 rpm) vinyl records were the high tech of the day.
45 rpm singles were introduced about 1954 +/- . Stereo LP's were available around 1957-58. (I was in highschool then. )
I have a lot of 45's also, 50's-60's rock.
Probly my newest "vinyl" would be from 1982 +/-, a direct-to-disk recording of the Harry James big band.D/D eliminated the intermediate step of tape recording and editing before the disk was pressed. Supposed to have better audio quality near to CD.
My kids grew up in the 70's-80's, and they have the rock albums.
Music CD's.... I'd hate to do an inventory. It might scare me. Maybe 400 or so.

I didn't know any of that. I also wouldn't mind getting my hands on some good blues and Stevie Ray Vaughn to be more specific. Glad to see there's such a following.
Yeah, I have listed to some SRV, and he can ,could, really make a guitar talk.
Public TV sometimes reruns a special of his.
Too bad he was killed in a helicopter accident, as I recall they were doing something with the aircraft they shouldn't have.
The thing about blues is the chord change format and phraise lengths. 8-8-4-.....whatever.
After a few tunes in a row I know what chord is coming next. Gets old for me, and as an OLD Sax player I'm not into lyrics in any kind of music.
Baby, baby, done me wrong.... woke up one morning she was gone....etc. LOL.

30s to 40s?!?!?!
No I'm just a young dumb naive 24 year old punk but I have an appreciation for good music. There's not much that I don't listen to besides rap. But I've got a Fender that I play just for fun and I just like good guitar music like Zep, SRV, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Zakk Wylde, and the like.
I've just always fallen back on the classic rock, back when music was for real and not based on the money and the glam. For instance, tell me a song in the past 20 years that has the kind of meaning and symbolism that 'American Pie' by Don McLean has. Nothing that I know of. Not many "classics" being made now days. Although on the other hand I don't mind some new stuff like Bullet for my Valentine, Perfect Circle, Egypt Central etc. Really I listen to everything.
Being kind of a music buff I relate to the old saying... "You can never know where you're going without knowing where you've been" and I think especially in the music industry, bands build off each others styles, riffs, and sounds. Music had HUGE breakthroughs back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and was the baseline for many of the styles of today. I find it pretty interesting.
Anyway TIM, Physical Graffiti is a great album! One of my favorites, it's in my pic up there. It's good road tripping music. Creeping Death would be a good one to have. I'm always on the lookout for that sort of thing. Not one to pay a lot but thats all part of the fun of looking. Sounds like MN is the place to go for good records
Snowiz- You're right about the blues sound which is why I lean towards SRV. I mean, who else can play Mary had a Little Lamb and leave you mesmerized like he can. Those would be some records really worth having. He was a guitar genius. Too bad for the accident...
So how old is everyone in here? What am I dealing with? Nobody my age collects records???

Ages?
He!!, I got grand kids 22,21,13,3.
I'm 66, born when World War II was only a few months in the running.
Probly not in K-12 history books anymore.
Many on this 4M know I'm a retired college electronics instructor, but bought my first snowmobile in 1972, age 30.
I played Alto Sax and Clarinet from 5th grade thru college graduation. Sorry to say I quit playing when I graduated from college, despite cajolling from fellow band mates.
Now I wish I would have kept up. But all that experience made me a good listener.
Not to mention I got married to the wrong woman at too young a age.
All that got in the way of music.
I still have the silver 1925 King Sax my dad played in highschool, and handed it off to me when I started taking music lessons.
My clarinet is a table lamp!
My youngest son (41!) has a musical streak, and plays keyboards and Hammond B3 Organ. If you know vintage rock, you know the B3 "overdrive" sound.
Trivia, called "overdrive", because the organ player would turn up the gain on the Leslie speaker WOT, and produce a distortion sound, heard so much in 60's-70's rock, and also blues. I'll listen to blues with a B3 organ track.
I still listen to streaming music on-line, and have my high-end stereo system, with my speakers that were $2,500/pair in 1989 each the size of a refrigerator in my living room, with $1,500 Sansui amp, and several other audio components.
Well enuf for now.

Might post a pic some day.

XC700116- Would you be willing to part with that album?
Mule you seem to know a bit about records. Care to share some of that knowledge
If I can find it when I go home for Easter. That's the soonest time that I'll be in MN.
PM me about that time to remind me.
You sound a lot like me, I'm 23 and have about 300ish records. A few I had handed down to me from pops, but most I got from Goodwill stores and other second hand places, The average price I have payed for a vinyl record is probably 2 bucks, and the collection ranges from Zeppelin(all but the first album) to Pink Floyd, and even some Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
I remember when i first got a phonograph setup in my room and dug through the old mans records and played Cheech & Chong Los Cochinos, i about pissed my pants laughing.
