    I think it's funny how society was like

    "wow, CDs are so much better. Superb quality, more convenient, no skipping/hissing, etc. "

    And then after a couple decades society was like

    "just kidding. Vinyl is actually better."

    The CD was perfect for the Walkman and better than cassettes which beat out the legendary 8 Track player where tracks would change randomly in the middle of a song

    I hung on to vinyl until we bought a house in 87 and my wife decided we? didn't need all those albums anymore

    I still think they were the right choice for most consumers in the late 80s and early 90s once the price of CD players got under control.

    It's funny though how they tried to claim superior sound, however, when anyone with non beat up vinyl and a good 2 channel stereo, knew that digital did no produce better results.

    I miss the high tech system I got for Christmas around 1979 or 80 with a turn table and an 8 track player. It came with both Boston albums and Kiss Alive II on vinyl plus Double Fantasy and Cat scratch fever on 8 track. Best Christmas ever. Fuck the 80s.
