Deconstruct the Classics!

I think it's all relative. You're going to get a lot of people who KNOW Cat Stevens but couldn't name one of his albums; flip that with Fleetwood Mac. Most people can name Rumours or maybe if they're younger Tango in the Night. There were so many singles and hits and important tracks on Rumours, it couldn't not be a classic, and it was also the classic FM lineup. The thing about our Cat is that he really is known mostly for one, two or three songs, and that's it. I just don't see how this qualifies as a classic album.

But again, it's up to everyone to invent and use their own criteria. I'm not telling you how to vote or how to make up your minds. This is just how I see it for this album.
