why?
because less than 10 years, or even 15 years or more, is not enough time to see whether an album holds up.
just being GOOD is not enough for clasic status. It needs to be influential. It needs it's musical ideas to still sound great and fresh. It needs to be experienced apart from it's initial rush of "yeah I like this!"
an album from 8 years ago that people still listen to is a good sign, but an album that is twenty years old that people still find and discover and is timeless is a true classic.
