You bet. I still have some classic vinyl, but I never listen to them anymore (no turntable). Today's kids wouldn't know what all that stuff is!

I do quite frequently. I still have my beautiful Yamaha YS-211 turntable setup in a corner of my living room. I've played just about every LP I own for my kids at one time or another. They actually like some of it.

I got a real laugh earlier this year when Limp Bizkit did a cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes". My son was listening to it one day and I said, "Hmmm...that's a catchy tune."
My son replied, "Yeah, it's new from Limp Bizkit."
I motioned for him to follow me as I went to my collection and pulled out "Who's Next" and set the needle on "Behind Blue Eyes".
I told him that this was written and recorded by The Who in November of 1971. The look on his face was priceless.

My 15-year-old just read this post - and I'm responding for her.

She collects vinyl - we just bought her a new turntable for her birthday - she especially looks for Alice Cooper albums.
