25 Perfect Songs for Vinyl
A very physical playlist
Do you remember your first vinyl record? I do. I played it over and over, memorizing all of the songs. I was 12 years old and obsessed over my record player and small collection of records.
I have been around long enough to have seen vinyl records come and go and, fortunately, return again.
Being a repatriated Midwesterner since 2020, (yes, I did check out AND leave the Hotel California), I am re-building a record collection at home here in Minnesota at roughly the rate of my acquisition of cold weather outerwear. As I collect and listen, I’ve noticed, certain songs just sound great on vinyl.
Music, and I do mean all kinds of music, has been a integral part of my life since adolescence. Fun fact, for the duration of my life I’ve never purchased a TV. However I have, over the years, purchased vinyl records, 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs, Spotify playlists and now…again…some of the those same original vinyl records.
So it occurs to me that with today’s choices there are multiple ways that I enjoy music. Interestingly, upon consideration, although I cherish chamber music played live (and am, in fact, a subscriber to the wonderful Minnesota Orchestra), I don’t own a single record with any classic music.
