I think the neat thing about records is the form factor. You've got this big dang thing that you can watch spinning around. Plus there's more room for album art.

It's just very unwieldy. Also outmoded. The only modern band I've seen an LP from is Slipknot, but apparently soad has some too xD

I think I'd pick CDs though. more room to write to :] Records are mostly a novelty. It seems they've only recently (the last couple of years) surged in popularity, and people claim "audio fidelity" as a reason they could legitimately desire them, but I think it's just a novelty factor. I mean, that's what it is with me anyways xD
