What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?

@bimmerlover  “….unprompted shares…”

Good to stand back and have a look. All is not always as first thought. Even better for a second, closer one. Your appraisal looks sound judgement.✔️

@jpwarren58  “John Prine”

l never realised until today that John Denver’s “Paradise” was a cover version. A case of being aware of a song, but not its origin.

l am 71 to answer your question.

Why do people feel compelled to make negative posts about what other people enjoy?  The fact that the thread has been running for over 20 years on this forum should tell you all you need to know.

I definitely care. I find it a great source of new (to me) music. Yes I am into the equipment part of this hobby just like everyone else. But the real reason I spent all that money is for the music. 

I don't have an issue with the sharing per se, its just that I see very little value in it when tunes/albums listed are common/million selling albums that everyone already knows about. Why should I care about what your listening to. On the other hand, listing less known music provides a service. 

When I'm moved by an lp thats not very common I'll usually post for 2 reasons -

1- to hopefully turn someone onto something they're not familiar with

Or 2- to remind someone that has the lp to pull it out and give a spin.

I for one am always looking for new music and/or a reminder to spin something I already have. Also to understand the tastes in music of the regulars. I like alot of the same things as Slaw for one
