Vinyl Quotes - page 2

If I'm on a train, with headphones, MP3s are great. At home, I prefer CD or vinyl, partly because they sound a little better in a quiet room and partly because they're finite in length and separate things, unlike the endless days and days of music stored on my laptop. (Jonny Greenwood)
When I was younger, I'd buy a vinyl album, take it home and live with it, and I think that attachment's largely gone for the file-sharing generation. View quote
Anton Corbijn
Van Morrison is probably, at this point in time, my biggest influence as a vocalist. When we were making our last album I had a vinyl copy of 'Veedon Fleece' in the vocal booth in front of me, in the dorky sense. I think there were candles around, which is really tacky, but hey, I needed to channel Van the Man! View quote
Nate Ruess
I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance. View quote
Saul Williams
Some of our early work was two minutes twenty when it actually came out on vinyl, very, very, very short. Sometimes if you made a three-minute record they would make you do an edited version for radio, particularly in America. View quote
Pete Townshend
I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home. View quote
Amber Heard
I have a lot of vinyl, but I only buy old records on vinyl. Like secondhand. It's too expensive otherwise. View quote
Caitlin Rose
I inherited this collection of vinyl records, which at that time numbered 6,000, and I've since continued to collect music. As you know, vinyl records can be very heavy, so every time I have to move into a new house, I need to build a complete new wall of shelves to put all these records, which is a nightmare for the architect.

Frida Giannini
Our first record didn't come out on vinyl, so I think that might have had something to do with actually being in a position to make sure that it came out in vinyl this time. It sounds way better. View quote
Jeff Ament
My older brother had a lot of Elvis on vinyl, and really, that was my first introduction to music during the Fifties. View quote
Kiki Dee
More people seem to know the Van der Graaf Generator material than my solo work - thanks, I suppose, to their parents' lingering vinyl collections. (Peter Hammill)
'Vinyl' is a good look at the music industry. The script was honest. View quote
Phil Daniels
My dad has a huge vinyl collection downstairs, but I was never too interested. The only CD I had was by Adam Sandler. View quote
Patrick Fugit
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists. View quote
Reid Scott
Whenever I see something that looks like it could be good - whether it's on vinyl, CD or cassette - if it's not too expensive, I'll take a chance. View quote
Will Oldham
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car. View quote
John Lydon
A great song is a great song, whether it's on vinyl or CD or cassette or reel to reel or mp3. Then again, that might be an overly optimistic view, but I do think that great music will transcend the medium in which it is delivered. View quote
Moby
I like everything in this iPhone, iPod world where you can do everything all the time. Back in my time, you bought a vinyl record when you were a kid and took it home, and it took a bit of effort to actually get it out of the thing and not scratch it. View quote
Rick Astley
Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don't really own the album. And it's not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive. View quote
Jack White
Vinyl survived, we managed not to kill it. Knowing that you've taken part in this fight... You can't imagine the happiness it brings. Every time I see a kid going out of the store with a vinyl record under the arms, my heart beats faster. Music should only be this. An intense emotion. View quote
Jack White
It ain't no joke when you lose your vinyl. (Afrika Bambaataa)
I have a lot of compact discs. I need them for radio play and convenience. Many bands and artists I am a fan of don't always release their work on vinyl, so I take what they feel like giving me. View quote
Henry Rollins
My musical influence is really from my father. He was a DJ in college. My parents met at New York University. So he listened to, you know, Motown, and he listened to Bob Dylan. He listened to Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones, but he also listened to reggae music. And he collected vinyl. View quote
Talib Kweli
Roger: Well no I think it goes a long way with people who are actually fans of the band. I understand that people who do buy the records are stoked when it's something that has some value and some thought and actually looks cool. Hopefully slowly that will start to get people motivated to buy vinyl again. Not only does it sound better but you get more of an experience with the artwork and stuff and the lyric sheet in your hand rather than on your computer screen. There's something more intimate about that. I think slowly but surely vinyl will continue to kind of hold steady even with people not buying CDs anymore. View quote
Roger Manganelli
I remember opening up my first vinyl and seeing the incredible artwork it had. There's nothing like it. You also get that true gritty sound on vinyl that really makes a rock record sound great, which CDs can never achieve. View quote
