Classics are ALL personal. Because at the end of the day, the only ones recognized are ones that are successful. It forces people to call shit albums classics. I don't see impact as the only way to judge a classic. It's all so predictable. The most successful albums get the label and then they throw in an album like Madvillainy to get some respect for the list.

It can't work like that. And I can see people calling GRODT as a classic. But when I compare that album to classics of the past, it simply isn't as good.

Your statement insinuated that any piece of music that starts a movement, whether its 50, Beiber, or fucking Susan Boyle is a classic and there is no two ways about it.

I mean, William Hung had a movement for a little while.

I just can't rock with the thinking that albums MUST be considered classic if they were popular.
