    Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

    How much did that set you back? Guessing it was expensive.
    I've been toying around with the idea of updating my whole audio setup. What you're describing sounds pretty sweet.
    Yes CDs have been dead for years. Long live Spotify & vinyl records

    Sonos speakers aren’t cheap but good sound quality and super easy setup (with minimal subsequent fussing) and scalability across multiple rooms are well worth it IMO. If you want to save a few bucks, keep an eye on Craigslist and pick up a set from someone upgrading to the recent redesign.

    Quoted from Cycloneman:

    todays music is horrible and the sad part is todays singers are getting paid record amounts of money for songs that are no where near as good as the older singers-groups-songs

    95% of the music from [insert your preferred two decades here] was crap. 95% of the music made today is crap. Nothing has changed in that regard, you just remember the cream from the good old days, not the dreck on which it floated.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    You would hear "New York Groove" on the "American Top 40" show, but I never heard it in heavy rotation - and it was #13 on the charts.

    The Hello version is far superior. I can only assume that DJs of the time understood this and proceeded accordingly.

    OP
    Quoted from Mr68:

    Just for grins, I searched for 8 Track on CL and found this ad here in Denver.
    One man's trash is another man's treasure.

    CL is pretty boring since they dropped the personal ads, eh?

    Quoted from emkay:

    Which reminds me, have you seen the BBC documentary on R Kelly? I've loved his music but it's pretty much ruined for me at this point. Disgusting how that stuff gets pushed under the rug for a popular entertainer.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    I did not see the BBC doc, but I'm remembering him marrying some girl who was 15 a few years back.
    If the record company is making money, they will sweep everything under the rug for you.
    Remember when the FBI discovered that MJ paid off 23 sets of parents so he could have sex with their little boys?
    I don't like shlt like that at all.

    vid1900 at it again with his puritanical moral standards - what a prude!
