What a sad world we now live in.......

What’s really “sad” is what passes for a hit song. This is the “Golden Age?” For convenience you mean?

Has there been a legitimate hit record since the late 80’s?

Am I the only one who hasn’t watched the Grammys in 30 years because the music or artists can’t sing or write a hit record? Is this generation deaf at recognizing a “hit” record?

And I never step foot in Walmart. They don’t support their employees with a living wage much less healthcare. Why anyone supports them is part of what’s wrong with the world.

Vinyl rules anyway. CD had a 40 year run. Vinyl never went anywhere. Get off my lawn!

Feel better now Coltrane?


Lol.

No coltrane1....you are not alone. Most music made today imo sucks! I'll take the old standards any day. Most new pressings suck too, you cant beat the older vinyl, those engineers knew what they were doing back then and they seemed to care. Unless you buy from say acoustic sounds or what have you, then for the most part you can score a decent sounding reissue etc....

I have three TTs, a tuner, and a CDP.  The CDP gets more use than the others combined.  Long live CDs!

I'm playing at least one Doris Day album (LP) per night for five nights as a tribute to "The Girl Next Door." She sounds terrific, especially on the "Day by Day" album. It's the kind of mono recording that has you wondering ... who needs stereo? 

Did someone mention something about streaming?  :-)
