You will never hear a recorded song more clearly than vinyl. A good record player patched into a big 1970s cabinet console. The sound is only beat by live music.
Have you considered that maybe you don’t like music?
going from “i don’t listen to albums” to “maybe you don’t like music” is incredibly strange. i listen to tons of music which i love. i just don’t do albums. I buy loads of songs on bandcamp and have multiple constantly growing playlists hundreds of tracks long.

that’s just demonstrably not true. maybe on a perfectly calibrated player in a completely dust-free lab environment with no air movement on a never-played vinyl that was just pressed and has never been moved. as soon as one of those conditions fail to hold the sound is distorted. from an acoustic perspective, live music also tends to have really weird sound and it’s usually muddied by the environment.
i realize you get off on being cryptic, but i can’t accept this gatekeepy bullshit. I’m too old and neurodivergent to care about whatever profound wisdom you want me to discover. be straight with me, or shut up.
I am being clear with you, you can’t understand because you don’t like what I am saying. It’s not cryptic. It’s obvious.
Let me just start by pointing out that you came into a thread asking about your favorite album at this moment and you stated how you don’t like albums. You started with a negative response. I gave you a chance to be a part of the conversation but you went even more negative.
You like songs. You listen to them one after another. But your missing the point of what an album is to the people who make albums.
You like the pretty songs but you don’t know what it means.
The lyrics I quoted are from Kurt Cobain who famously hated poser music fans. He wanted his music listener to listen to his album but the music industry turned him into a pop star by releasing his songs as singles. He hated how people only knew Smells Like Teen Spirit or his other radio hits but didn’t know his other stuff and only ever wanted to hear one song.
If you ever get into vinyl, you will appreciate the album format a lot more.
we had a lot of vinyl when i was a child. i listened to that one ELO track a lot. i have no real nostalgia for the sound.

It’s what the part in that one song means when he’s singing
what a weird thing to say. please explain.
You will just have to discover it yourself.
