Do the kids still call them albums?

We might as well still call them albums. Having just recently learned where the term “album“ originated from, I can tell you that the term as far as music goes, has been outdated way longer than anyone would have thought.

I recall the very first time I heard of a compact disc, it was about 1981...pretty long time ago. If I recall correctly, they were about $25 at the time, a pretty tidy sum at the time, about 2x the cost of vinyl. The CD is truly one of the great inventions of our time, 8 track, cassette and vinyl all got replaced by CD.
