Regarding the new Radiohead and this discussion on PDD: I hate CDs. To me, compact discs are just a lame vehicle that I use to get the music into my computer and from there into my iPod. The truth is I haven't bought a CD in months if not years.

In my opinion, either you want to just listen to the music (in which case you should just download the MP3) or else you want to have the whole aesthetic experience (in which case you should buy the vinyl LP). Vinyl LPs offer an incredible music experience: the spindle fits throught the centerhole, the disc spins, the diamond hits the groove, and you hear the music. You hold the sleeve on your lap and everything is well and good. It's amazing.

None of this means that music on its own is worthless. Far from it. Most of the time, I just want to plug in my iPod and go.

However, the thing is, a lot of albums just don't come across properly on vinyl. A lot of older albums have too much treble. Or else, there's just too much information for the whole analog process. It sounds like mush, and I just wish I could hear it digitally.

Here are the vinyl albums I listen to on heavy rotation. I list these in hopes that you will either comment or email me suggestions for more. I like listening to music with all kinds of crackles and pops, holding a huge sleeve on my lap.
