    does one even exist? and can your answer be something other than sslp/mmlp ?

    i know i made a similar thread like this a year ago where i said an album that was considered classic but isnt anymore..lots of people named good to great albums

    It was bait. I can't think of any right now though. Regarding OP, I think over time, some of these albums that we used to call classics lose reply value and people start to really see it for what it is. That's why some albums aren't regarded as classics anymore.

    If there's one than it'll be one that was called "classic" way too soon.

    If it was considered classic for years, why would it change? Says more about that particular person than the actual album.

    The problem isn't the album, it's the person. The person has a s-----y way of defining "classic". A true classic is timeless. Nowadays, every f---ing thing is considered a classic. "Classic" is not a term to be used loosely. Some albums are just good or great, but not classic.

    How'd you get away with this for half an hour? Me Against the World is a 9/10 on it's worst day. All Eyez on Me & 7 Day Theory are easy 8/10 as well.
