Old Vinyl that holds up today

[maxrandb]

So, was just going through some of my old albums and spinning some tunes. It's amazing how this old stuff still blows away the music of today.

Thankful for the music I grew up with.

Jethro Tull - Stand Up
The Who - Quadrophenia
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Yes - Close to them Edge
Led Zeppelin I
Utopia - Road to Utopia

are just a few I'll be dusting off today.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

I would put Fragile over CTTE even though both are great. You have to put a CSNY album in there....maybe 4 Way Street.

2. I like Trick of the Tail from Genesis

Unfortunately, I don't have 4 Way Street, just Déjà Vu

Love Fragile, but I remember when it came out it made me go black and find other stuff from Yes. The Yes Album blew me away.

8. Suppers Ready is one of the greatest songs ever written/composed.

The FIRST album I ever purchased was CTTE. I was in awe of a 18 minute song.

3. I have a few

The Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday
Spirit - The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
The Doors - Strange Days
The Beatles - Revolver

4. Shhhhh. You're not allowed to say that here.

5. I loved how "Stand Up" had the pop-up band inside. n/t

6. Yeah, that's was a classic

Funny how Hotel California was written shortly after The Eagles backed Tull on tour when "We Used to Know" was on the setlist.

7. Ah. Something of a Taurus / Stairway inspiration there. n/t

9. I still have just about every vinyl album

I ever bought, going back to the early 60s. I have over three hundred of them. I have taken very good care of them and still listen to them sometimes. My only regret was that I didn't take very good care of the covers and never put them in plastic sleeves. In some cases, the covers can be worth more than the vinyl itself.
