I think collecting vinyl can be an interesting and rewarding hobby. However the thing that pisses me off is when people have massive collections of vinyl and never listens to it. For instance I recently discovered that my friend's dad, who I have never once had a conversation about music with, or heard him mention music of any sort, has a huge collection of vinyl records. But he never seems to listen to it.
I can understand if you happen to have a mint condition, deluxe edition of Thriller or something and you want to keep it pristine. But Not having mounds of LP's that you never touch except to sort, stack, and collect.
