“Since I am a child of the ’90s, I grew up with CDs and wasn’t really introduced to vinyl until I was about 10 years old.”
“My dad is really into prog rock and I remember rummaging through his record collection and finding artists like Genesis and Yes. With artists like those, there’s so much emphasis on creativity and artwork, and with vinyl you can actually see it and pay attention to it. Music is so much more than just the songs, it’s all of the art and imagery that goes along with it and vinyl really allows you to appreciate those things.
I grew up on bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Led Zeppelin. Something I have always loved about all of them is their insane album artwork, so I have grown quite the collection of vinyl from bands from the ’70s and ’80s.
As my music taste has evolved and expanded, I have traded my denim cut-off vest for a nice button up and cardigan. The harder stuff will always be a part of who I am, but now I prefer to dabble in ’90s music and my favorite current artists. Nothing like Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? on a record player to instantly make any ’90s kid want a Lunchable and a Skip-It.
It’s so refreshing that people are coming around to appreciate physical copies of music again. Even though streaming and social media are really beneficial things for a lot of artists, there’s something really special about being able to go and buy a physical copy of your favorite album.”
—Thomas Moore
