hmm... thats a good question..... lemme think about it and ill edit
edit ok the dictionary says 1) Belonging to the highest rank or class. 2) Serving as the established model or standard: a classic example of colonial architecture. 3) Having lasting significance or worth; enduring. and i think thats true cause like albums like A Tribe Called Quest's Low End Theory might not be the most advanced album but it served as the bar for future rappers to try and get to... and I still listen to Nas's Illmatic to this day so it lasted for some time... and just great quality albums like Blackalicious's NIA |

Chad was at his absolute sickest on the Kenna album. Seriously, "Sunday After You," "Freetime," and "Vexed and Glorious" are absolutely fantastic songs.

To me these are Classics...
Beatles -- Abbey Road/Rubber Soul/ Revolver..ah they were all good! Elton John -- Goodbye YellowBrick Road Michael Jackson -- Thriller Ray Charles -- The Birth Of Soul Beach Boys -- Pet sounds...(wouldn't it be nice is the best song!) Frank Sinatra -- Classic Sinatra...Greatest Love Songs cd is good too Madonna -- True Blue Album Green Day -- Dookie (first album) Marvin Gaye--lets get it on Whitney Houston--Bodyguard..or whitney houston Celine Dion--All The Way, a decade of song Mariah Carey--#1's, lol but serious, what else would you get? Alicia Keys--Songs in A minor, and Diary are both good Pink Flloyd--the wall Led Zeppelin -- Led Zeppelin of course there is Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Croce, Aerosmith, James Brown...all of them..dunno the names of all their albums tho...I would consider music from broadway to be classic too. like Grease, Sound of Music, Aida, Chicago, Phantom of The Opera .West Side Story,Funny Girl, The King and I, Fiddler on the Roof..all the music in those were extrordinary..So i would consider that music Classic. lol wow this is long ![]() ![]() |

I prefer 'Mothers Milk' and 'By the Way' by Chilis although the bass on BSSM is something else.
Rage Against the Machine - self titled Sex Pistols - 'Never mind the bollocks...' Janis Joplin - 'Pearl' (I love this album John Lennon - 'Plastic Ono Band' Beatles - 'Revolver' Frankie goes to Hollywood - 'Welcome to the Pleasure Dome' Pete Tosh - 'Legalize it' Bob Marley - 'Exodus' |

But the beat makes all the difference. While not messing anything up contentwise, the beat determines how the words are to flow, or how they should flow. You know when someone is just off rythmically, when they say a word at the wrong time, or say it in a wrong way? That's just from lack of listening to the beat. That and a beat makes or breaks a song. Look at Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life." Lyrically not all that but the Annie sample, that bass line made that damn song. |

I said I doubt the Grey Albums beat could fit better than the one's Kanye, Em, other's laced... even Allure... I can't see the beats working better with Hov than the originals cuz the originals were so incredible......... |

Would any of you consider a recently released album, of any genre, to be a classic?
