Deconstruct the Classics!

Trollheart · 06-25-2015, 05:43 AM

Many albums are accepted as being classics, mostly rightly so, but there are those that a) are, and a lot of people shake their heads and say no way that's not a classic album or b) are not accepted as such, but some people think they should be.

Here, I'm going to give you a chance to "do a Pluto" on the classics. Anyone can drop one in, one at a time but it should be a recognised classic or one that should fit the criteria (so no Jesus the Carpenter albums please!)

All you have to do then is say Yay or Nay, and the votes will be totalled at the end, so we can see does this album actually deserve its classic status or, conversely, should it be one and is not?

You can comment and give any reasons you want, if you like, but you don't have to. Any genre, one at a time as I say. Signup sheet below.

Starting with this one, which I think most of you hate so I can imagine how it's gonna go....

This has to be the most boring album ever to be considered a classic.

Wait, do people actually listen to the whole album?
I thought it was just something dads had lying around before the age of youtube,
in case they wanted to listen to the eponymous song.

I'd rather listen to this than to almost any 'classic rock' album.

Yeah man that's gonna be a colossal hate from me, I'll never understand the appeal of Hotel California (the song OR the album)
