All my life I have been a lover of the old vinyl albums. As a teen I devoured them -studied the covers, read all the liner notes, sang along, wrote out the lyrics, tried to play them on my guitar. Totally consumed them. Now just thinking back to them releases happy endorphins in my brain. The older ones take me back to eras in my life - the good old days. The more current ones create those good old days for future rear-view mirror reminiscing.
I list them here in no particular order. I will try to refrain from commentary on them, for now at least. Some of these I don't classify as good music now but nonetheless, they touched me. Have any of these impacted your life too?

Do you still have any of your albums?
I had some Earth Wind and Fire,
Stevie Wonder, probably some Al Green and lots of other ones. I don't have them anymore.
My hubby is always reminicing about some rock band or lead singer that I don't know.
I was into oldies, Motown, Funk and the like.
I have very few in album form unfortunately. Although I no longer have a turntable so couldn't playe em if I did. I have some in CD but have a longing to start searching for LP's. My brother has a huge collection of LP's. It's a hobby of his.
I really liked Motown too. Still do, I guess. Lots of early soul like the Chi-Lites, Temptations, Stylistics etc.
