My closet has oodles of Gator stadium cups dating back to the mid80s. I miss those heavy plastic 22 oz cups!
Late 80s for me. I remember those cups. First game was Emmitt going off against new Mexico state for a few hundred yards
I saw Emmitt break it I think it was five times against Pine Forest. If the front seven didn’t hold him to ten, he was off mowing down those poor db’s. He was a sophomore.
With Spotify and Pandora (both of which I subscribe to - commercial free of course) — and other internet services providing access to any song you want (almost) — the personalities of “albums” has been lost. It’s just another subtle loss in the name of convenience, accessibility, and advancing technology courtesy of the internet
You have to look next to the rating. If it says HS it is their original ranking out of High School, if there is a T it is their adjusted transfer rating. Why some guys get rerated and others don’t is pretty random. For the most part guys who haven’t played much are still getting the old rating but not always.
My fiancé listens that way but after dinner if music is played. I listen to it the way it’s supposed to be.
That's a choice. I listen to full albums on Spotify. Plenty of artists still record full albums that follow a theme or concept. Maybe more now than ever.
I'm sad to say I don't currently have a CD player anywhere in my home, as all my speakers or soundbars or anything music related all goes through wireless/bluetooth. That being said, I own three older vehicles, the newest of which is a 2002 Escalade. It still has the factory Bose stereo with the 6-disc changer, and my other two trucks have aftermarket radios with a CD player. It's nice to throw in my favorite albums or greatest hits CD's or whatever while I'm out and about, and maybe I'm full of it, but I feel like the CD's sound better than any digital audio.
I just like the songs in order how they were meant to be heard. I too have an aftermarket system in my truck.
There’s a good interview with Derek Trucks about still making hard copies for exactly that reason. For many musicians, an album/ cd having a beginning and an end has been lost.
It's funny how hardwired song orders get programmed in your memory. Even mixed tapes I used to make as a kid from the late 80s early 90s. When a song ends I hear the next one in order no matter how long its been. Funny that many kids today may not experience that phenomenon with music channels now as opposed to listening to complete albums.
