A single year and that much great original music. It's a truly
astonishing list, regardless of its omissions. What have you done to
us, Clear Channel?

Well, I look at that list and can't help but think: no wonder we felt
high.
It pleases me no end to learn that vinyl is making a substantial
comeback, and while everyone is talking about the quality of analog
over digital (and it's true), I am rejoicing over the idea of the
renewal of album art. While I have emotional ties to almost every
album on that list, what I really want is every one of those album
covers for my walls.

A lot of that stuff got airplay on the budding FM stations at the time.
I distinctly remember cuts from the Grateful Dead album, CJ & Fish's
"Electric Music For The Mind And Body", Big Brother, "Are You
Experienced", "Disraeli Gears", and "Days Of Future Passed" on Boston's
"underground" FM station, WBCN. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been
exposed to this stuff and consequently wouldn't have bought these
albums.

That quality includes distortion, hum, hiss, rumble, pops and crackles.
So what are the good points of vinyl?
I've been listening to a lot of it recently on headphones so I know
how bad it is, even with good equipment, not that you can buy a decent
cartridge any more.
