What makes a great album great?

Something else would be at least one classic song. I've heard albums that are fairly solid through and through, but not completely essential if there is not one song you can come back to over and over and still be blown away every time you hear it.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
As others have said I think it is very much a subjective thing; it boils down to opinion. You can say that they are good musicians or this singer can sing 2000 oktaves but that does that necessarily mean a great album?
Not really, take Houses of the Holy for example, a masterpiece to some, but I am pretty indifferent towards it. That, and I don't like Robert Plant's voice. Someone else said originality and breaking grounds can constitute a great album. Sure but it only needs to be original in the ears of the listener, take the whole retro thing with garage and post-punk. They are original and maybe even breaking grounds for unseasoned ears, who have never heard the bands' inspirations.
In the end I don't really care if it is original, if I like it a bunch then that's it. A great album.
I know with this line of thinking it would mean Christina Aguilera and others have made great albums. And they have in some people's ears.
But the problem is, if this is the case, then what isn't a great album?

Yeah, that's basically the gist of what one of your posts said.
