Do any of you collect/listen to vinyl still?

I wouldn't say I am a collector, because most of the records I have are beat up hand-me-downs and garage sale purchases and they are all sitting in cardboard boxes in my closet instead of prominently occupying an entire wall of my living room, but because so much of the music I love comes from the halcyon days of the 12" LP, I rather enjoy listening to records with a cold beer or well mixed cocktail. 
 
Recently, I have been the beneficiary of a record windfall. My mother in-law is moving from a house to an apartment and needed to unload her late husband's collection, and a family friend was remodeling and I got to cherry pick what I wanted out of their basement. Some of the best I got: 
 
The Beatles: 1962-1966 Double LP, Get Back/Don't Let Me Down 45 
Uriah Heep: Demons & Wizards, High and Mighty, Return to Fantasy 
Boston: s/t 
Jethro Tull: Songs From the Wood 
Blues Brothers: Briefcase Full of Blues  
Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention: Absolutely Free  
Yes: Close to the Edge 
Styx: Grand Illusion
 
In total I probably ended up netting 50 LPs and maybe 10 loose 45s, all of which I plan to painstakingly catalog in the coming days.  
 
Coolest of all, the mother in-law also gave me an ADC Accutrac 4000 that appears to be in perfect working condition (I don't have a preamp to use it at the moment unfortunately). It has s the remote and even the "learn how to use your new record player" record with it. Seems pretty damn cool. I had no idea that there existed record players that you could skip around tracks remotely with, and while I am an absolute whore when it comes to listening to whole albums in their entirety and skipping around seems to defeat the purpose of listening to the vinyl LP instead of just throwing a playlist on my iPod, I am also intrigued by this curious technology and can't wait to see how it works.  
 
Anyway, I was just wondering who of you may also have stacks of wax laying around. Not trying to start a "vinyl sounds better debate" and not looking to make a sell or trade thread because my collection is for sentimental reasons and the enjoyment of it for me comes with listening to them, handling them and showing them off to friends, not keeping them behind glass until they're "worth something." 
 
Here are some pictures I snapped with my phone while unpacking all my new goodies .      
 

Extreme metal has been a very recent genre for LPs and EPs. Probably because they can put more artwork. I would want to be part of it but I can't commit enough money for it and I enjoy listening off a CD.

  I wouldn't exactly say I would collect vinyl, other than a few bands. I have a lot of Oasis singles that were put out on vinyl and when I was younger amassed every LP, Album and Single by t.A.T.u. including the vinyls. Unfortunately my mother got rid of the record player we had in the mid nineties, so I've never listened to them. I would love to hear what any of the Beatles stuff sounded like back then.

no, but my brother still does. there are some right next to me right now.

I have several hundred vinyl records stored away that haven't been played for nigh on 10 years or so.  That is when I last owned a record player.  I really have to get a record player - one that allows me to transfer to my iTunes.

I live an hour away from hollywood  and I go to the amoeba records that they have there. I pick up vinyl of new artists. The last one I picked up was Give Up by The Postal Service. 

A record is still a very sexy item, and I've got shelves and shelves and shelves of vinyl. Some of it's old stuff for sampling, some of it's newer danceable stuff and the rest is for listening purposes or just random crap I've picked up over the years.

I still collect a lot of vinyl. I recently brought a Pro-ject Debut III to play them all on =) My collection is mostly either from local bands, post-rock epics or experimental electronica, though.

 
I was born 1990.
 
So no.

" @oldschool: This is a ridiculous deal.  Amazon link. "

I do... but only if I can pick it up for cheap though. 

I not really into paying "real" money for the novelty of having something on vinyl.

Haven't listened to any of them in a while, but I will still pick one up if the mood strikes me, and I'm in an establishment that sells them.

My brother is 23 and an avid vinyl collector. Our parents had a great record collection, lots of 60s/70s rock, but the record player broke early in my childhood, so staring at the psychedelic album covers was as far as my exposure to records went.  Later on I felt a little bit cheated out of some important musical culture, remembering all those records just sitting there until they were sent to the basement and subsequently damaged in a flood.  However my brother got really into music and vinyl is his preferred format.  He receives 2 or 3 records in the mail every month, often from Europe. He likes obscure bands, mostly metal, progressive, and experimental electronica can't really be classified stuff. He just bought some new shelves that are just the right shape to hold vinyl. There really is something special about records, they allow for so much more artwork and creative packaging. That is one thing that I really miss with digital music: the tactile and visual experience. There's no artwork, lyric sheets, posters, no feeling that you hold in your hands someone's artistic creation.  Just data on a computer, as easily deleted as downloaded.

I've got a moderate amount of vinyl, but I don't listen to it as much as I'd like. I suspect that once I get my own place I'll start listening to more vinyl or picking up more vinyl.

I actually just recently started collecting vinyl, because they're cheaper (if you get them used), have much nicer-looking artwork and almost always sound better.  Especially for Punk, Classic rock and Jazz.  Just a better bang for your buck overall.

I've collected a few records, but stopped since I no longer have a working turntable. Recently, I have gotten really close to CDs and now I just want a new turntable.

I have most of my mom's old records: .
Here is my favorite -  Frank Zappa: Joe's Garage Act 1 and 2

I've recently acquired a fascination with old shit, vinyls being one of them. I am 18, so I've never experienced their majesty, their magic. My plans for the summer is to get a job and buy LP's and vinyls off of craigslist. Along with old video games and a CRT TV. It's a very destructive phase, IMO.
