Yup, I don't disagree with you. But I do enjoy the experience of putting a
record on and listening to an album all the way through, which I'm less
inclined to do with a lot of CDs - filler track comes on, I'll skip ahead
9 times out of 10, whereas on vinyl I'll leave it to play through, and
eventually start to like the filler tracks because of it!
And I picked up a remaster of The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips on
vinyl recently, and that knocks the CD version (which I have in my car)
into a cocked hat. It sounds like an entirely different album (ignoring
that two of the songs are, in fact, different mixes) - the vinyl remaster
sounds absolutely electrifying.
