Is Pandora Killing Record Albums?

I admit that I've quit collecting record albums, after my collection soared to the 1000-plus range a couple of years ago. In fact, I've given away at least half of that collection to local thrift stores -- and have plans to keep only a few hundred of my favorites. Part of my problem is finding Pandora online. I can listen to whatever music strikes my fancy without digging into my pile of albums for an oldie but goodie. A Facebook Friend writes of this phenomenon: "Does the availability of music online take the fun out of being a music geek for those of us old enough to have spent endless hours going from record shop to record shop looking for a hard-to-find album or single?

Question: Do you have a collection of old record albums (vinyls for you kids out there)? What era/type?
