Not only did I buy those rock albums in the 50's and 60's, I still have them AND play them! I also have 8-tracks and 45's! I will never tire of the "oldies".
I also like classical music.

And you think you're something? I have a buddy who'd be wholly unimpressed. He's boomer musician who used to play punk rock and who now collects wax cylinder records and won't listen to anything recorded after around 1926!

(Above is no flame!) Do you have or remember 33 1/3 RPM 10'' LPs? Or 45 EPs? Presley issued a whole bunch of 45 EPs in the early 60s with colorful covers and up to 6 tunes from his sorry movies. You could also buy albums on reel to reel tapes, I recall. Somebody, perhaps the French, experimented for a while with 16 RPM LP records for spoken word recordings. Those were the days!

I too love classic rock. Fortunately for you, you're aware that some of the big acts from those days have more than one or two songs in their catalogues. Though its getting harder to find a lot of great stuff still in print.

I was referring to the 100 or so songs that are pre-programmed and played without deviation.
