rolling eyes or not, man's got a point there. why is something called classic? coz it never going to be old enough to be forgotten.
there are lots of new records that sound great, some will become hits, but being a hit doesnt mean it will be classic. hits are temporary, classics stay classics. time isnt criteria for judging music quality, it can just prove it.
so, if you missed some last year hit record that everyone played, no big deal. if you find 10 or more years old classic, think twice.
