What's a favorite LP you listen to?

How many of you have a LP or vinyl you really like listening to right now? The last and one of the best I've gotten was Blonde Redhead 23 on Vinyl LP. There's an official page where you can hear samples of their music.
Here's a button:

I love how this sounds on vinyl. Analog is so much warmer than digital (unless there was a really well mixed MP.4, then I wouldn't mind it so much). Also, any DJ Irene's or Alice DJ's, or Lady Tron's out there and you make your own?

Oh no way, you like Blonde Redhead! Big ups.

I don't do vinyl. For one, I can't download it. Two, it's more expensive than a CD, and CDs are already too expensive in chain stores, and indie stores are generally more expensive again, but only because their stuff is harder to find (though independent stores are awesome in the way you can, for instance, just be really enthusiastic about something and the owner will give you something for half price).

My dad has an extensive vinyl collection. Every Beatles album, plus a whole bunch of other stuff. He used to put on Simon & Garfunkel quite a bit, but now the player has broken. It's a really top-shelf model too, which is both a shame, and an impediment to getting it fixed. The entire thing is connected, and wouldn't fit in a car.

I don't have many vinyl, but the one I really love the listen to is 'Live After Death' by Iron Maiden. I think it has a certain sound quality to it that can never be captured on CD, MP3 etc. I listen to it a lot. Plus it's an original, which makes it all the better

Vinyl is very expensive nowadays, which is a shame, because I would buy it all the time if it wasn't.

I always find vinyl pretty cheap at places like Amazon. If anyone has examples of a favorite LPs, see if you can find a shortcut. Also there are a lot music places where you can get rare pieces, like old records limited print. Did anyone ever get into these?

There is also an interface that allows you record into your computer from a record player. Some are built for this purpose (Audio Technica, ex.), so you can get into your car and play the .MP3 or .MP4 compressed versions after inserting the outside media device into your car radio.
