    Default records.... might be for the older lads and lasses in here

    well i was just wandering, does anybody else in here still have records (LP, vinyl or what ever its called)

    like i said in a nother resent thread i have 4 of queens but here is the list of the ones i treasure the most (got a whole lot from my parrents when i moved out because they didnt want them)

    Queen -
    Live at wimbley
    Innuendo
    A kind of magic
    A night at the opera

    Alice Cooper -
    Schools Out
    Wellcome to my Nightmare

    Pink Floyd - The Wall

    Red Warszawa - Hævi Mætal og hass (danish group, the album is called translated, heavy metal and (the last word would break a rule, lets just say something you smoke that is not cigarettes, some might know what i meen)

    Metallica - One (this is a single) i've asked my brother a million times if i could buy his "kill em all" but he wont let me

    Kim Larsen - Midt om Natten (danish dude, you might have heard of his band they made something in english some time back (think it was the 70s) the band was called "gasolin" and they made a song called "this is my life" and some other stuff, not sure what it is called)

    and last but not least

    AC\DC - Highway to Hell

    other than this i have a lot of old 70s pop musik on collections and some danish music from the 60s, 70s and 80s

    mayby you would list your most priced ones... (this is for you older dudes so we dont get a list of thousands or more, this is not at all pointed at you bongobro *wink wink* you know im kidding)

    Sadly, I don't have my LP's anymore. I have managed to replace most of them with CD versions, but I do miss my LP's.

    being younger, i don't have any, but I thought it could be cool to get one from a band I liked and put it on my room's wall or something I think you can get some records relatively cheap on ebay

    If I didn't know we were talkin' records here, that statement would have scared me, PB! (couldn't resist a BAD PUN!)

    I have probably about 100 vinyl discs left. Some have CD duplicates, but most of them don't. Oddly enough, I have a BIL (brother-in-law) who has hundreds of vinyl LPs because, as you say, Mr. Ice, he claims they sound better than discs! Trouble is, they take up mucho space in his house...

    Now what do we do with our CDs since mp3s are now the order of the day???

    I have maybe 100 or so... All the original KISS albums up through the solo albums & I think 'The Elder', some other classic rock LPs, and a LOT of old 80's hardcore, punk rock & skate rock.
    I never play them, though because I don't have a decent turntable anymore. Maybe I'll look for one at a garage sale or something...
    My brother has about 3000 or so...

    My dad has 300 or so albums, and it's great because lots of it is more obscure stuff. I also have a turntable. While CDs are more compact and transportable, vinyl has a look and feel which I love.

    ROFLMAO!!! And if the album had a scratch, you'd stack a couple pennys on the arm to keep the needle from skipping!

    A vinyl album has a warm, nostalgic, snap crackle & pop that was lost in the super clarity of CD's and now mp3s.

    And I remember the days when I was playing records in radio and one of my biggest fears was starting the record into the song so you would have...

    "woooooaaaaaaHHHHH" at the very start...or bumping the needle as you reached for another record and watching with horror as it bounced across the cut and scratched the vinyl!

    That's funny you say that... I have an old antique Victrola that plays only 78's; there were a bunch of old 78's in it when my mom bought it from an antique store a long time ago, including several from Les Paul and Mary Ford! The only thing is I can't find the old metal needles it uses so if I listen to the 78's it digs into the record BAD!
