that's a good point, and i think what you describe is probably more relevant to today's electronic music scene than searching for the next strings of life. i mean, the more labels, the more producers, the more chance there is for individual variation in what people listen to and what people regard as personal classics.Quote:

this was one of a small number of records that:
a) have a widespread musical AND cultural impact
b) are/were widely listened to/played out
c) change the way people think about this music (even if in a small way)
and
d) are generally acknowledged as having done these three things
that's a classic, as far as i see it.
