@coolboymew Led Zeppelin unironically rules. the bit at 3:25 of Heartbreaker is still one of the heaviest things ever recorded. for a few seconds, they achieved transcendence.

I love Led despite it being boomercore. I have a bunch of their albums on vinyl. They are legit great.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad There are records I would never want to listen to on vinyl (my go-to example is Radiohead's _OK Computer_), but vinyl is still a great format, if only for the cover art.

That said, many artists use those cracks and pops in their own records to get an absolutely mesmerising sound, like Portishead, Massive Attack or The Avalanches.

Finally, CD remasters suck. Even with cracks and pops, people knew how to produce records that sounded awesome back then. That seems to be a lost art now.

@josemanuel @noyoushutthefuckupdad @Bead it's a gay music industry thing, not a format thing. We can basically all agree that music production took a dump in the last few decades and a lot of it is probably because they can sell artists and popularity rather than selling music. It's the same old US mentality that's rotting everything, the product they're selling is a lifestyle mostly, not the product
