Music Website Lists 15 Essential Classic Rock Albums to Have on Vinyl

I remember buying records, it was always so cool heading to the record store to see what was new, then taking them home, putting them on the turntable, listening to the entire album all the while enjoying the album art, reading the liner notes, and getting the entire album experience, the way it was meant to be.

I had a pretty good vinyl collection back in the day, but as music formats changed, I built a pretty sizeable CD collection to replace my vinyl, which I now wish I had kept. Who new they would become more valuable over time?

Well, now vinyl is making a comeback. Like a tube amp adds warmth to the tones of a guitar compared to solid state, vinyl adds a dimension of warmth to the sound of recorded music over digital formats, which in a lot of cases can't reproduce the full dynamic range of a recording. So, if you've never left vinyl or, if you're getting into it for the first time, the website loudersound notes that sales of music on vinyl now outpaces digital downloads.
