Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl?

Hi SR-
Well, it is my post and I can pontificate on just about anything I want. But, you might have a point, I dont want to dis music others might like, even if it is crap. Perhaps I am jaded by the last 20 years or so when vinyl was harder and harder to come by, and those few companies that were pressing vinyl had to use their resources wisely. When I see reissues of bands like Twister Sister-which is perhaps the best example of a bad reissue choice-I think to myself...aren't there better choices? Aren't there better bands and albums? I think they can do better, but you seem satisfied.

Manilow and Kenny Rogers were big stars at the time of thier releases and as for Little Richard he was huge in his hay day and is a standard. Most music from the 80's and 90's was not recorded well and or they were overdubbed to the hilt. They need something to work with. There were also more one hit wonders around then, you cannot make money if there is only one good song on an album.

This should be all of ours' mantra.

Everyone has his or her taste. My point is to respect that. I DO NOT like any of the bands/performers you mention, but I respect others opinion to like them without being disrespectful of them or the band.
