I appreciate this thread. Thank you to the OP. I was just wondering though, as I read all these great responses, and remember all the great albums I’ve purchased over the years… What will people who are budding music lovers “now” be reminiscing about (in regards to their music) 30, 40, 50+ years from now…? First download? First streaming service? I feel fortunate to have been able to participate in this event. To be able to think back and remember exactly when I bought a particular album, one that I can still pull out and play today. Remember being a kid and saving every penny, then walking to the record store and buying ONE album, because that’s all I had the money for, and spending hours picking “the one”. Then do it all again the next time I saved a couple bucks.
