The LP: I still remember vinyl records, I'm ashamed to say. The CD format is technically far superior and offers stereo, but some music conniseurs believe that CD sound is flat and soulless (that's more do to with the added harmonics of the LP needle than the reproduction of the music itself). But for all intents and purposes, LP is dead.
:-o Ashamed? I'm proud to remember vinyl! :-D
The sound is not just to do with harmonics, but also the facts that music nowadays has the very top and bottom frequencies shaved off to get rid of the hiss. You lose some of the original music when they do that.
I can never listen to Metallica's Fade to Black on CD (and it's not due to a bad transfer - the remastered versions are just as bad) because some of the sounds are missing or a hell of a lot quieter.
And vinyl isn't dead, it's just hard to find :-P
