05.01.11 | 2 is really the only one on here that should be. |
sniper
05.01.11 | yeah i mean 5 definitely isn't commonly regarded as a classic album. 1 maybe in certain social circles but not as a whole.
2 just fuckin sucks.
3 and 4 are pretty widely acknowledged as classics and your opinion is as valid as any, but i don't think either really sucks. |

05.01.11 | In Australia if you're overheard saying you hate, dislike or are indifferent to AC/DC a group of men with mullets and sleeveless flannelette button up shirts pull up beside you in a ute, jump out and beat you with socks filled with frogs.
I don't hate them but it all sounds the same to me. I like 5 but not to the extent of some. 4 is brilliant in my opinion but I understand why people would think otherwise. |
Rev
05.01.11 | 4 is too deep for you |
Trebor.
05.01.11 | 4 is classic to me.
3 is classic to most. |
Acanthus
05.01.11 | 3 is the only release I actually enjoy out of the list, I feel it deserves its status but it is a rather situational/mod oriented album. |

It's happened to me before. Seriously. |
dimsim3478
05.01.11 | All pretty good.
1 superb. 2 excellent. 3 superb. 4 classic. 5 classic. |

Right down to the socks with frogs? |
lancebramsay
05.01.11 | None of these albums suck.... of course it's arguable that they are actually classics. You at least need to respect #2 |
Polymath
05.01.11 | It's all a matter of opinion in the end, I actually quite despise 1 and 2, but 4 and 5 are two of my favorite albums of all time. MPP is an album I still listen to daily and have been doing so for 4 months. It's one that may or may not grow on you, took me about 6-7 listens before it did, it all depends man. |

05.01.11 | "None of these albums suck.... of course it's arguable that they are actually classics. You at least need to respect #2"
2 is one of the worst pieces of shit ever.
if you're talking about disputing "classic" as a title like sgt pepper's or sticky fingers or blood on the tracks are classics then i don't think you can in the cases of Kid A and Disintegration. In indie circles, ItAotS is regarded as genre-defining and pioneering, so take from that what you will.
In terms of impact/relevance, Kid A and Disintegration are definitely classics, and many would argue the case for 1 as well.
"but 1 and 5 are nowhere near classics, and I think most of the users on Sputnik, even the ones who like those two albums, would agree...."
classics in terms of what?

Trebor.
05.01.11 | I'm surprised As The Roots Undo isn't on here. |
Polymath
05.01.11 | I think people get caught up on the whole term "classic" a 5 is merely to display an album which you find to be flawless and has almost an endless replay value. It doesn't necessarily have to be a "classic". |
Spare
05.01.11 | 2 is terrible but fuck you for 3 being here i mean come on really how can you even argue that |
duckpride82
05.01.11 | Three of these are 5's for me. Disagree wholeheartedly. |
Slum
05.01.11 | how the fuck did you get so original dude? you're a fucking prodigy |
DonniSharK
05.01.11 | I dislike all these albums except for Disintegration. If it was legal, I would marry that album. |
DonniSharK
05.01.11 | And by dislike I mean "This is a good album but I'm not fond of it". This applies to Kid A in particular. The music is great but as an album, I don't like it. |
lucazade22
05.01.11 | 5 is massively overrated |
WhiteNoise
05.01.11 | wow when was it cool to hate ACDC? The band admit themselves that all their songs sound the same, they're hardly hurting anyone haha. Having said that, they sucked live. |
Spare
05.01.11 | it's not cool to hate acdc it's an obligation |
Polymath
05.01.11 | "5 is massively overrated" album is too much for you |
Motiv3
05.01.11 | totally agree with 1 |
CounterClockwise
05.01.11 | 3 is sooooooooooooo good. I agree with 2,5(though I don't think 5 has earned the "classic" status) and I do think that Kid A is overrated but it shouldn't be on this list, cuz it's still very good. No opinion on Neutral Milk Hotel never really checked them out. |
Polymath
05.01.11 | Yeah 5 hasn't earned the classic status (although it is to me) so why complain about it |
qwe3
05.01.11 | "wow when was it cool to hate ACDC? The band admit themselves that all their songs sound the same, they're hardly hurting anyone haha. "
it's not about it being "cool" and who cares if theyre hurting anyone. it's about whether the musics good or not
and it isnt |
iPim
05.01.11 | 2 is great |
liledman
05.01.11 | classic is a pretty loose term, especially when people can deem a new album 'a classic of our generation' or something like that. it mainly has to do with importance/influence, but there will always be people who despise classics, just because they can. maybe that has something to do with trying to be cool or different, but hating acdc makes sense because they fucking suck. |
dimsim3478
05.01.11 | Yep. Sometimes, people on this website can mistake the word "classic" for a five scored album since the term just happens to coincide with the rating, while I like to think of a "classic album" as an album that is extremely good and has some sort of impact or respect among general music followers (normally worth a four at the least). |
Blackbelt54
05.01.11 | agree completely with 2 and 4 |
Polymath
05.01.11 | There could be endless arguments over what a '5' or a 'classic' is but in the end, it's how YOU feel towards the album. If an album is flawless and has a brilliant replay album then it's a 5 and most albums that are like that tend to be what you 2 (liledman and dimsim) mentioned.

05.01.11 | 1235 are not classics, i agree, but 4 is. definately |

05.01.11 | 4 is amazing, 2 sucks. |

05.01.11 | 2 sucks. the rest are good. i could see somebody not being obsessed with them. but "suck" is a strong word

G3N3R1C
05.01.11 | 1 is a 4/5.
2 is a 1.5/5.
Haven't heard 3.
4 is a 5/5, and is definitely in my top 5 favorite albums of all time.
5 is a 3.5/5. |
TheBalderdashMan
05.01.11 | I wish I'd heard more of these. 1 is fantastic, but 4 is a self-indulgent piece of suck that thinks if it's crazy enough then people won't notice how musically empty it is. |
TheBalderdashMan
05.01.11 | Now: Close to the Edge is my least favorite album of all time, and Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick is not far behind. Discuss. |
eggsvonsatan
05.01.11 | #3 and #4 I really don't hate, but I can't figure out why people think they're Classics. Disintegration has some decent tracks, but it's a pretty miserable listen over all. And while i enjoy a few bits and pieces of Kid A (as well as other Radiohead) I think its dry, pretentious, and vastly overrated.
@Balderdash- I can see why you wouldn't like close to the edge, but Think as a Brick is phenomenal! |
TheBalderdashMan
05.01.11 | I think Thick as a Brick is the only album I've ever heard that made me feel embarrassed on behalf of the musicians. It just seems so absurdly overblown to me, though it has its moments. To each his own... |
iFghtffyrdmns
05.01.11 | #1 is definitely regarded as a classic amongst certain groups of listeners and I feel like those groups are big enough to deem it a classic in general. |
TheBalderdashMan
05.01.11 | Agreed. None of these are universal classics like Sgt. Pepper's, but they're all among the major indie classics. Except Back in Black. I'm really not sure why that's on here. |
pizzamachine
05.01.11 | 4 is a 2.5
5. is a 2 |
FatChickIrl
05.01.11 | agreed with 1, the only ppl who 5 that are hipsters naggers |
Polymath
05.01.11 | I 5d 5 but I'm no hipster |
FatChickIrl
05.01.11 | best way to know if someone is a hipster is if you call em a hipster if they say no then they r a hipster, sorry you failed |
FatChickIrl
05.01.11 | o wait if u 5'd 5 then ur not a TOTAL hipster if u were to 5 1 |
dixoncocks
05.01.11 | All classic but 2. and there is no way 5 is a 2 |
dixoncocks
05.01.11 | or 4 is a 2.5 wtf? |
Polymath
05.01.11 | Nah man I don't even know exactly what a hipster is, I just have a varied musical taste, I dig alot of Metal as well. |

05.01.11 | Eh, 2-4 are great. |

gotsthedewsdood
05.01.11 | these aren't the kind of albums that i would of expected on this list. for one, yes ac/dc is fucking awful. kid a is brilliant. the other 3 are decent. i was expecting nirvana, guns n roses etc. |
hard_rocker89
05.10.11 | 2 is undoubtedly one of the best rock albums of all-time. I listened to it for the first time in a long time a couple days ago and, damn, does it rock. No bullshit. No fancy stuff. Just loud, obnoxious rock 'n roll. |
Scrambled
05.10.11 | interesting....not |
KeithStone582
05.10.11 | 1 and 5 are both classics.
4 is really good, but for now it's not quite classic.
