What is so special about Vinyls anyway? ;)

Great place to put this thread. Now I'm going to make you all have a post count.

I really hate when people call records "vinyls" but I'm not gonna nitpick, because I like people who collect, love, and play them.

I prefer vinyl because I enjoy the whole package. I like being able to touch and handle my music, with large, detailed sleeves and the charming smell of decades passed. From the physical feel of the record, to the smell, to the warm sound of a needle in the grooves, the entire experience just really turns me on.

Think about it. Before we had CDs or digital media, nobody called them "vinyls" because there wasn't a difference in disc formats. It just irritates me because people of my chosen era never would have said that (and it just sounds really dumb).

But the term record could be used to describe a tape or cd or online album. When you say vinyl it is clear what you are talking about. People didnt say it then because their was no other alternative to mix it up with.

As much as I agree, I think the real issue is using the plural form of vinyl. Saying "vinyls" doesn't make much sense considering vinyl is the proper form be it singular or plural. Saying vinyls is like saying deers.

I knew there was another thing I was forgetting.

Unless English is a person's second language, they need to learn their singular/plural words and how to use them. Otherwise it just makes me want to kick them in their stupid face.

Indeed. When it is 100% ANALOG on the record,IT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!
