Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Led Zeppelin - zofo Blondie - Parallel Lines Duran Duran - Duran Duran The difficulty with this is defining a "classic" album. Is an Indie classic album really a classic album? If it is: Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technicina Big Black - Songs About F***ing |
I always think of a "classic" album being one that is universally heralded as a great. So, for instance, some of Roxy Music's later albums may be considered classics by the sort of writers who decide what is classic and what isn't, while we would largely consider them utter middle-of-the-road drivel. Can something that is incredibly difficult for the man in the street to listen to be considered a classic, or is it just good?

The Stooges - Fun House
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures REM - Green John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Charles Mingus - Oh yeah Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland Neil Young - Harvest Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove etc, etc. |
I feel I should have listed something by Abba, but I'm not sure if there's any one album of theirs that defines them.
You see, that's the problem with "classic" album lists, they're always going to contain something by a band that might be considered crass but who have released an album that defines an era or a genre. |
It could be because they were more of a singles band.Why not start a thread for singles?Go on sonicl,i know that you want to.
|
No, it's okay. You can have the honour. Classic "Best Of" albums maybe, in honour of bands or artists who have produced a consistently great body of work. But I'll wait a while before I start that one, I'll let this one run its course first.
|
Do it!
|
Well I prefer the term "classic" instead of "cult record"...Maybe I exceeded with labeling MMM a classic.
|
Oh no, Metal Machine Music is a classic, it's just that it's a classic because of what it represents, rather than because of the music. I'm reading this thread as being about classic records musically.
I happen to think that "classic" is a rather over-used term when referring to records. "Classic" is generally a status that is awarded by the media, where it tends to mean "ticks all the right boxes". |

just get ABBA's greatest hits. if you get it in spanish you won;t have to hear the schlock drivel lyrics |
Quote:
classic means an album that was important musically, has held up after a long time, and is still vital today. by those criteria many fo the artists on these lists people have made do not belong. |
Sonic youth - Daydream nation (my favorite is Evol, but since we talk about "classics")
John Coltrane - Ascension Robert Wyatt - Rock bottom My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Slint - Spiderland Can - Tago mago Faust - Faust Tim Buckley - Starsailor King Crimson - In the court of Crimson King Portishead - Dummy Velvet Underground - The VU & Nico Soft Machine - 3rd Charles Mingus - The black saint and the sinner lady Red Krayola - Parable of arable land Doors - The Doors |
Good call on Faust
|
John Fahey - Days Gone By
Sabbath - Master of Reality Hendrix - Are You Experienced |
I suppose these qualify as classics, so:
1. Big Star - Sister Lovers 2. Velvet Underground and Nico. 3. Television - Marquee Moon 4. Rolling Stones - Exiles on Main Street 5. Tom Waits - Closing Time. |
so who gets to decide what qualifies as a classic?
