and prices, opinions and the times can't touch that. The most important thing is that there is so much to choose from, everyone can have their own collection of classics. For some of us, we'll get touched by a lot of things (because we're music tramps lol) for some a few treasured special ones. There are no classics in reality I guess, just the ones that touch us. This person over here thinks Tool AEnima is, for the same reason. This person over here thinks Tori Amos Little Earthquakes is the most beautiful album ever made, because it speaks to them. This person over here thinks anything made after 1900 was crass, simplistic, disposable rubbish. This person over here thinks Hank Williams Snr's greatest hits is the only classic thing ever made. Some folks decide that all they want to hear is the most aggressive thing they can find, and others the most mellow. Some folks decide early on that all they want to hear is what comes out of Nashville, or Stax, or Motown. Some folks listen to stuff as far away from the norm as possible to make sure everyone knows they are different and in their minds they attain "cool" status that way. They listen to what their friends listen to, so their friends accept them, or they attain "cool" status. Generally, not always, I listened to the hard stuff enough to genuinely enjoy it, because I was trying to figure out what people saw in it, and more often than not it clicked, or I became accustomed to it.

When I was younger I just bought anything, to hear what it was like. What I dislike about music is the constant need to grade stuff.

What I like about music is it is personal. Just like the fact that I don't know that I have heard Kendrick Lamar, doesn't change the status of the album for them.Ī lot of albums attain classic status for a while because somebody everybody respects says, "this is fantastic, genre altering, life changing, blah blah blah", and it almost becomes necessary for people who consider being taken seriously in a discussion about music important, to agree. If half a million fifteen year old kids don't like them, it doesn't change the status of the album for me. I can see (in my world at least) a ton of albums that are all classics and always will be, and they aren't all from the sixties and seventies. Many albums cross these borders, but only so far, for so long. I'm not sure about anywhere else, but are Boston big outside the US anywhere? Because in Australia, Boston are a one hit wonder that only got noticed for "More Than a Feeling". Here's the thing though, AC/DC Back in Black was a worldwide smash and almost became a right of passage album for young guys for several generations.

I understand where you are coming from and I think I said something along those lines really early in the thread.
