I had an argument with my brother the other day which revolved around his contention that Astral Weeks couldn't be a classic album because it hadn't sold many copies.
So does anyone have an opinion about whether an album that hasn't sold a lot can be a classic. Also is there anyone who's got an opinion about Astral Weeks itself. For e.g has anyone heard it who thinks it's not a classic?
