well no, i never said "what other people tell you is the best album acording to every rolling stone list", that's too boring a topic, I am saying that some people of their own accord can separate what they think is a solid classic and not be told it's a classic
Washing Machine and A Thousand Leaves are the best example from Sonic Youth i can think of, A Thousand Leaves is more solid song for song and doesn't has a song that drops off like No Queen Blues, but i find Washing Machine more enjoyable due to it's shimmery southern sound
trust me, if you have seen the top 200 list that the rock and roll hall of fame put out, i call bullshit right there, it's was a ploy based on marketability and selling a stagnant back catalog to save the major labels from their downward fall (no fucking way is 'Get Rich or Die Trying' a top 200 album, not even in the hip hop community either), but people are able to discern what they think is the best with no outside influence
