That'd be 60's & 70's rock/pop/soul of specific artists, now wouldn't it? 
I've got over 5000 lp's here at the casa, and *half* of 'em are by artists 
most people have never heard of, or bands that nobody's heard of of with 
artists that later became big. Damn few of 'em are "classical" records 
though, which was what the other cat was listing in excruciating detail. I 
mean, I've got 3 albums of "The Great Society" (Grace Slick's band before the 
Airplane), but I'd say that *those* are only marginally collectable by most 
popular standards. And you can *have* a rare record whose value is only 
marginal if you can't find a buyer for it. Dig?
