    My friend's dad has at least 1000 records and an old record player. We used to sluff school and hang out in the garage and listen to 80s music. Good times. I'm not gonna even try to list them. But our favs are all the old Metallica, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent(lol), and even old 80s pop like Flock of Seagulls.

    My dad has a huge collection of albums and its kinda fun over the summer to look through them to see what he was into. A lot of Led Zeppelin and some Beatles albums. Allman Brothers, Stray Cats, and Def Leppard to list a few of the bands. My dad has Prescence, Led Zeppelin IV (Untitled), Song Still Remains the Same, and some live Led Zeppelin album. Good stuff to listen to when modern rock radio gives me a headache.

    How come? [/b][/quote]
    Because it's at least 1000 records. Just pretty much EVERYTHING that was big in the 80s, mostly rock. We listen to mostly the rock like Van Halen, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot,, Twisted Sister, KISS, Metallica, AC/DC, etc. And those are in no order... lol.

    If any of you want some vinyls, it might be surprising, but Hot Topic has a good selection. That's where I got my Mars Volta vinyl singles, and saw a Bikini Kill vinyl there too.

    lol. never mind... I misunderstood the text...I thought it said listen instead of list. nvm. :lol:

    @ Todd:

    1. Scratch DJs love the feel of scratching vinyl instead of CDs.
    2. Some people with a good ear think that vinyl has a warmer sound because it contains all the audio data, not just a digital replication of the majority of the frames. The sample rate (usually 44.1 KHz) is the number of frames used in the track per second.
