Pretty much anything by The Doors, Frank Sinatra - Cycles, Marvin Gaye - Whats going on?, Cream - Disraeli Gears but not limited there.

I enjoy putting on vinyls just because its a different sound. I'm a nutjob when it comes to sound quality but I really enjoy records and the sound that comes out of them too.

All of them are better on Vinyl.

Labels are only recently bothering to properly remaster the older recordings for CD, and they still don't compare to Vinyl.

So they clean them all up again and put them on CD so you are hearing the sound as close to the original as possible. If you think some sound better on vinyl then you are saying that the original must have had something missing and that the vinyl has added the missing bit. What rubbish. CD is obviously better, anyone who say's it's not just does not appreciate quality sound. Music was'nt put on vinyl for the quality, it was put on because it was the best thing at the time. Now we have something better......CD.

Spoken like someone who never owned a decent turntable. If it weren't for the existing logistics issues involved with finding a decent stylus and the sheer weight/volume of my record collection, those LP's would have made the trip from Detroit to Seattle. Every record I owned from the 70's sounded noticably better on vinyl than on CD. Remasters are improving, yes.

I'm sorry to have to disagree with you on this. I have a great record player and I do love my LP's. I said the Beatles earlier in this thread only because it was how I was first introduced to them and retain a very large sentimental place in my heart to the vinyl versions. That being said, cd quality is much clearer, crisper, and truer to the original sounds of what was being recorded. Vinyl can still sound great, but will never hold a candle to cd sound.

To elaborate, CD's are digital and the quality is limited. Analog is essentially unlimited in quality, unless you have a crappy stylus and a buzzy turntable like I've got. But at least it was a good way to absorb myself in Led Zeppelin I-IV. I'm not such a quality nut, just as long as the artform of whatever I'm listening to remains. I just don't want my sound to be around 128 kbps or something low like that, because there definitely is a difference.

Exactly. Vinyl captures every sound being made during the recording for better or worse. When these recordings are cleaned up and digitally mastered for CD, a lot of the sound gets washed out which isn't necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, there are layers upon layers of sound that get totally ruined when a song gets mixed and mastered for CD. I still prefer CD over vinyl, but it is purely for ease of use and the fact that vinyl isn't mass-produced anymore. If you have a nice player and a clean vinyl LP, it beats the shit out of CD sound, at least as far as analog recordings go. If something is recorded digitally, then a CD would likely have better sound quality.

I will buy Beck on CD, also Liz Phair, the Best of Johnny Cash, or my friends' independent releases
and I make a point of owning some things on CD that shouldn't exist on CD in the first place: Blue Cheer, Stooges, Velvet Underground, Richard Hell, just to make a perverse point to myself

but when I buy my beloved Acid Mothers Temple, Royal Trux, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Rolling Stones, Monoshock, Sleep, or anything heavy and deep and powerful (like the very ocean) I go for vinyl if possible

It ain't about objective quality of the medium - it's something more intangible.

With a CD you can hear the light in the room, sometimes even the color of the floor... With vinyl, you're IN the room. I can smell the pot smoke wafting out of the grooves of some of my favorite records... Reel-to-reel tape is the same way

well said. CDs sound better, but the package is like a glorified cassette. LPs breathe with life. Nothing like holding that thick, heavy platter in your hands.
