Yesterday (8/12) was National Vinyl Day. The once left for dead format has seen a revival in recent years and vinyl records can now be found in major retailers like Target and Walmart. In addition, new local stores are popping up each year. Sales for vinyl have increased every year since 2006. The fine folks at Genesee Cream Ale ('cus beer and records go together like peanut butter and jelly) put together a poll of the best records to listen to on vinyl. Not surprisingly, the list is dominated by artists that ruled in the 60's, 70's and 80's when vinyl was last king. Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' landed at #1. So drop the needle on your favorite album and crank a cold one too.
