How do you classify an album as "classic"

Postby Pauly D » Jan 27th, '11, 00:01

I didn't know where to put this, but since Eminem has more than 1 classic album, mine as well put it here.

What makes an album a "classic".

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

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

From how I look at it, It's basically a notable album from it's time era that will come up in conversation for generations to come.

For example, Beastie Boys aren't exactly crazy rhymers, but their first couple albums are 'classic'.

From how EVERYONE ELSE on this site seems to look at it, it's when you like an album a lot. :coffee:

Actually it's the opposite. It's NOTHING to do with your own personal taste.

If I don't like it, then it's not a classic to me

I'm confused with what your trying to say sir :o

There is no such thing as a "classic to me".

Objectively

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.

Okay now that I got what you guys think makes a classic. What about when critics or when it's actually called a "classic" throughout the whole population of the country.

By how many it's sold? The awards that came from it?

Just reception and global acceptance. Sales don't make a classic

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:

Sales don't really matter in defining a classic IMO :happy:
