There are obvious loopholes in that statement, like how Parris Hilton's album gets referenced a lot in conversation making her album a classic, you know the point I was getting at.
I find that sometimes albums I thought were amazing seem less worthwhile to me later on...and vice-versa. I think an album needs to stand the test of time before we can call it a classic. "might become" a classic and "is" a classic are two different things.
