Welcome to the SXN 80's Official List of Classics!

Okay, so I had this idea which is something I think could turn out to be really awesome if members contribute.

Everyone is always arguing about whether or not an album is a classic right? So in this thread every week (every 3 days for now until we have tougher nominations), members will vote between 5 albums (these 5 nominations will be chosen by me based off how often I see them described as classic, you can also suggest nominations). At the end of the week the album with the most votes will be certified "SXN 80 Classic". Voting will take place every week (3 days) until we have a pretty solid list. The first few rounds should be pretty easy as many albums are Classic Status worthy but things will get tougher!

Rules: 1 vote, per member, per week (3 days). Only counting Studio Albums. List will be mainly focused on hip-hop/rap albums for now but may branch off into different genres later on.

Note: The nomination that comes in 2nd place will also be nominated the following week, while the remaining 3 will NOT be eligible for nomination the following week but will be allowed in the weeks to come.

Just to clear things up, the goal of this is to create the most credible list of Classics on the internet. In order do this we must vote every album onto the list. If we were to excuse certain albums and deem them already as classics the list would lose credibility.

This weeks nominations: On Page 12

"The 1994 hip-hop landmark is reissued in a box set with vinyl, a gold CD, an ersatz cherry wood case, and a 48-page book. Almost 20 years later, it remains a sterling example of how great rap can be." - Jeff Weiss

There's nothing weird about voting for MMLP

It's highly regarded as one of the most impactful Hip Hop albums of the 21st century and a definitive classic

Your opinion is in the minority

 

Apr 20, 2016

It is official.

Winning by a comfortable margin My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West is officially the first album to be certified classic by Section Eighty.


"Like Picasso, he acknowledges that the chief enemy of creativity is good taste--which is just as well, since it's not a quality with which he seems over-burdened on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. For which we should all be thankful." - The Independent UK.

In 2nd place this round was Illmatic, which means it will be again nominated this round. In a tie for 3rd place The Marshall Mathers LP and The Chronic will sit at least one week out until it may be nominated again. All Eyez On Me came in last place and will sit out at least 3 rounds until being nominated again.
