Yeah, I bought one of those USB turntables once, I didn't like it. Mostly because it didn't come with a dust cover!! I bought a McLelland pre-amp on eBay a few years ago and it uses a USB connection, and you can plug the RCA's from you're turntable straight into it! It's the size of two decks of cards stacked on top of each other! Works with electricity or phantom power! I record straight from the turntable to a hard drive!!
My collection goes back to around 135 years ago.
First single I ever brought, after seeing them on Top of the pops, was Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax. I was 10½ years old!!! A week later it was banned for being obscene. I did not understand until my mid 20's why it was obscene and what the words meant. lol
There is some good rock and metal in the 90's, but your right, definitely in decline. Just about the only music in the 00's I love is euphoric dance, trance and club.
I spent this afternoon doing house work listening to Queen, Beachboys and the Mamas and Papas. Good house work music.

It was banned because of the cover, which, as far as I'm concerned, is NOT obscene! Big Frankie fan here!!
Dance, trance & club, if I know what you're talking about, it's disco, to me!! There ARE a FEW good bands in the `90's and beyond, but, as it was put to me a few weeks ago, the record companies were getting tired of people like Kurt Nobrain screwing them out of money by doing things like killing themselves, so, they decided to start playing it REAL safe and just sign teenie-bopper little girl artists. BLAAAHHH!!!!!!
For the past two days, ever since I heard it on the radio, I've had a Madonna song running through my head CONSTANTLY!!!! I don't want it, but I'm stuck with it, for now. At least it'd be funny if I were to walk up to some guy at work and start singing it verbatim: "I live in a material world and I am a material girl!" Nearly everyone at work is a big homophobe!! Lol.
