What Makes a Classic?
Merkava:
I got in an argument with someone recently after saying Lonesome Crowded West was a classic album (along with Moon and Antarctica, of course). He said " Sorry, nothing by Modest Mouse, or anything else from the year 1997, should be considered "classic."
This brought up something in my mind. What makes a classic? What sorts of factors make a classic?
Apparantly, this guy think that time is the main factor. What about you?
Kai:
anything before 1975, despite whether it sucked or not. Seriously.
Inlander:
Air guitar capability.
KharBevNor:
There is a formula to express this:
A classic is any album which has been ripped off more times than it itself rips off other classics.
Ie, something that represents either a sea-change in music or the definitive pinnacle of a genre or style.
Not, imo, Modest Mouse.
