The demise of the LP is one of the best and worst things that ever happened to home music.
The good part is you dont have to worry about someone jumping too hard on a floor and making the record skip.
The constant worry about scratching one and so forth.
Also it was a big no no to go to someones house and mess with their turn table.
The bad part is there is a loss in the quality if the sound as the music keeps getting more compressed.
But the absolute worst part is now someone can put on a pile of music and put it on random.
You will be listening to one type of music and it will jump to another type without any smooth transition.
This is called a train wreck in the industry.
It would be like going to a concert to hear opera and all of a sudden Judas Priest comes on stage.
When this happens all of the music just becomes noise.
I have asked several younger people in the late 20's to late 30's what they were saying and what was the song about, I knew but they didn't.
They told me they had no idea it was just background noise.
Once I asked a young mother what her 9 year old son was listening to.
She had no idea I told her to listen to it.
Needless to say it was some of the nastiest ghetto rap I have ever heard.
