IMO the quality of the recording has a lot more to do with the enjoyment of recorded music than the medium itself, analog or digital.
I have some LPs for which I also have a CD remastering. Each LP version sounds different from the corresponding CD, but a bad recording sound bad in both formats, while a good recording is enjoyable in both. That said, in my system CDs tend to 'open up' better than LPs. In both LP and CD formats, I often find that Gordon Holt's law applies, namely "the better the performance, the worse the recording, and vice-versa."
