Back when CDs came out, I started the long process of replacing my vinyl collection with CD's. However, there still remain some bands who never "made the cut" and I still only have on vinyl (floundering in my mum's garage, as it happens - she keeps threatening to throw them out but she never does!).
For me, the bands I never bothered getting on CD are:
Genesis (sic)
Focus
Hawkwind
Gong
Steve Hillage
Tim Blake
Blue Oyster Cult
Marillion
and probably some others I've forgotten.
How about you lot?

I was just talking about "Grazing dreams" with Zac.
Of course, no comparison between the CD and the original vynil! (whereas it should be good, as it's a ECM CD also). The original vynil is incredible...

since I was not around in the glory days of vinyl, there are certain bands that I ONLY buy on used vinyl instead of buying CDs, mostly because they just seem better in that format, such as Genesis, Yes, Rush, ELP, and whatever other prog (or good 70's bands) i can find. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

| Since that rock is bumped and trafficked on CD, it's really better to turn on vynil. The issue is that these vintage vynils were owned by people not always tidy and/or who use bad cartridge, which result in ruining the vynil by a plotter action. |

If I buy a vinyl release (all my The Pop Group albums are on vinyl,
minus the first e.g.), I usually consider it an upgrade, as I will end
up spending more on the vinyl release than the CD release.

Geezer here (and proud of it!):
Haven't upgraded to cds on King Crimson yet. Mostly Genesis, Yes and ELP. Will probably get some Dream Theater before buying KC. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

The last japanese HDCD KC versions are great.
Just bought "Lizard" and it's wonderful for CD. 
Beautiful mini LP design. |

Admittedly I have bought a few that are in sub-par condition (I found the original Genesis Live and it turned out to be hopelessly warped  ), but mostly they are just dusty or dirty and a little careful cleaning can clear them right up.------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

If it's just dust, that's nothing. There are solutions to clean.
The problem is when the vynils distors. There's no absolute way to tell if a vynil is in good condition, infortunately. A tip is to look closely to it and to see if it's shining...The "rays" have to look very "tight". If not, it mean that it has been plowed by a bad cartridge...A tern look is a bad sign also. But a vynil can look good, and be very bad when listening and vice-versa. |

Well, I had about 200 vinyl albums until I bought a CD player in 1987
and started to replace them with CDs. within a year or so I had
replaced all of the important ones. At the time, this meant Rush, Zepp,
Jimi, Yes, BOC, and Ozzy (hey, It was the 80's, what can I do?) So
about that time, my record player broke, and a buddy offered me 50
bucks for the whole collection. So, I guess my point is, I upgraded to
CD exclusively right there. But I guess some things that I used to have
on vinyl but never bothered to buy on CD would have been stuff I used
to like: 80's skate punk, Euro-synth pop, AOR stuff. However, albums I regret giving up as I've never been able to find them again for any reasonable price were some of my 80's college alt rock stuff like the self-titled record from The Sun & The Moon, the first couple records from Close Lobsters, Trip Shakespeare's Are You Shakespearienced?, and the first House of Love. O well. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

I actually started to buy vinyls after I started to buy CD's. But there are several albums in my mp3 archive that never get's upgraded to CD. Not because I don't like it, but because they're rare/expensive or something like that. I'll get'em all sooner or later though. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |
