I am 27 and I remember vinyls..   I actualy have a few of them around here.. 
Mostly Rush and Zeppelin.  I love to bust out my signed Geddy Lee copy of 2112
on vinyl and crank it up in the summertime when I am bbqing..   Nothing beats
the sound of vinyl.  :)

Its funny...  my 2 year old doesn't know what a cassette tape is, or a record. 
He barely knows what VHS is.   Only iPods, CDs, and DVDs.
