Big nope on both of these, by the way. I'm going back to some crap that I know rather than crap I don't know

Guilty as charged. My Spotify mix has cleansed my musical palate with Cut Copy, Róisín Murphy, and Architecture in Helsinki, so I'm happy (even if work is dreadful) |

Interesting on the 13 -30 thing. 13 was the age I started to get into music properly, but I used to go back down the influences of the artists I liked so a lot of what I listened to would have looked back as much as forward. Most of my favourite albums I have posted on this thread were released before I was 13 and quite a few before I was born. Of the ones released after I was 13 I didn’t really listen to them until I was over 30 One of my favourite albums this century is A Grand Don’t Come For Free by the Streets |

Prince - Purple Rain & Sign 'O' the Times I feel like classic albums have to have critical and commercial success (as well as being era defining), but I suppose what might be considered a classic will change with time. Was trying to think of classic albums since 2000, Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago |

I was going to suggest Original Pirate Material as a more recent classic, Fields

Dvorak
JamieKai  , what about Kraftwerk? Any from Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine or Computer World. In the "Classic Album" sense TEE would generally be regarded as the one. Although they all had such an influence you could argue that they were The Eighties, before the eighties were. |

Yeah OPM is perhaps the classic one as it was fresh. A grand don’t come for free is more of a concept.

Classic albums since 2000 for me... The Strokes - Is this it Arctic Monkeys - wpsiatiwim LCD Soundystem - Sound of Silver PJ Harvey - Let England Shake Original Pirate Material I'm in agreement with too. Not sure what defines classic myself either.There are a number of albums of this century that I like as much as these, if not more, which I haven't included as I realise that is because they are very much a personal thing rather than being seen as a classic more widely. |
