Variety of factors. Some more than others. To name a few...
* Cultural Impact
* Critical Acclaim
* Timeless Music
* Lyrical Quality
* Defines a movement, time, or place in popular culture
(there are many other aspects too)
Subjectively
It doesn't matter, as it is soley YOUR opinion. Soulja Boy's album could be a classic to you.
Couldn't have said it better.
Objectively:those factors apply in time.Only after few years u can actually tell if the album was a classic or not.
Subjectively:That's all about each person's taste.As Chet said:
Chet Starr wrote:When you enjoy the whole album, and never get tired of listening to it.
It's all a personal choice, depending on your own personal taste
Sales don't really matter in defining a classic IMO
