Well, this is kind of interesting. Forbes has assembled a list of each state's favorite vinyl albums from 2016 based on eBay sales figures. The methodology: "Favorite" means the album a state buys at the highest rate compared
to that state's total share of the volume of records purchased. Some examples:
Georgia:Goats Head Soup shows up kind of a lot, and I can't imagine why. To me it represents the start of a creative ebb for the band.
1. Goats Head Soup – Rolling Stones
2. Sheer Heart Attack – Queen
3. Al Green’s Greatest Hits – Al Green
Kansas:No love for "Dust in the Wind" Jayhawk State?
1. Goats Head Soup – Rolling Stones

Louisiana:Proof that Louisiana ain't all New Orleans, I guess.
1. Lazaretto – Jack White
