I'll be no help to you. I grew up listening to "vinyl" in the 1960s and bought my own first record in the early 1970s.* Went on buying records until the late 1980s when a gift of a CD player made me start buying CDs. Bought those silvery bastards for 25 years, and then went back to "vinyl." Despite having around 3k CDs, I have probably spent more on buying more "vinyl" and analog upgrades since then. I rarely play a CD now.
I mean no disrespect to you by putting "vinyl" in quotes. I call them records and I understand the very young call them other things, like "vinyl." So what do I play from the 60's to early 80's on vinyl? Original (Parlophone mono) Beatles. Moody Blues, Fairport Convention, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Pink Floyd. Even today I have two records in the mail from the 60's and 70's. Cleaned up (rather laboriously by my method) they sound wonderful! Pretty much anything you liked at the time can be found again today, and cleaned up—yes, you MUST do this—and will sound great. Only abused records fail to come out of my cleaning regime without being silent. I cannot cure scratches.
All I can say to encourage you is to visit discogs.com, buy only mint versions and enjoy once again your youth.

*Really? You want to know? OK, first was a copy of Ravel/Bolero/La Valse (but what was on side 2? I don't recall and that might be why I can't find it now on my many shelves of LPs), and the second was certainly Nilsson Schmilsson.
