I think it's still way too soon to be calling Doolittle a classic rock album.

In fact, I think we should stop calling anything classic rock, because it just comes an umbrella term for anything more than 15-years-old.

i agree that not every one knows the Pixies even some people who pretend to listen to rock.
but Doolittle is:

21# in overall BEA chart.
20# in the overall chart of rateyourmusic (The Joshua Tree 833#)
59# most acclaimed album by the critics according to acclaimedmusic (38#)
226# in the RS 500 (The Joshua Tree 26#, RS tend to overrate anything by U2).

that's a classic for me, or let say for people who have even a small knowledge about music.

I personally think it'd be awesome if Heaven 17 overtook the lot, but tht's never gonna happen

If it's for the latter, I agree :D

yes, I meant the latter.... seems a better choice to me than Joshua Tree.

I agree...but, that time was also BEFORE Joshua Tree.

And if we want to be completely accurate, their twatatude commenced about halfway through War and they never looked back.
