I always think of a "classic" album being one that is universally heralded as a great. So, for instance, some of Roxy Music's later albums may be considered classics by the sort of writers who decide what is classic and what isn't, while we would largely consider them utter middle-of-the-road drivel. Can something that is incredibly difficult for the man in the street to listen to be considered a classic, or is it just good?
