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".

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.
