Do OK Computer, Funeral and Is This It actually have 'classic' status?

I think so, yes. Do you think albums released after, say, 95, can't be called "classic" yet? I think not calling Nevermind or Illmatic classics would be ridiculous, so I guess the not-classic-yet date for you would be about the half of the 90s?

Agreed. It was food for thought, but yeah - I think an album having been released in my lifetime seems strange that it can be called classic. That's just my perspective. I really do think post-2000 is pushing it.

I'm not sure myself, tbh. People are always calling all kinds of things classics. Were 70s' classics called that way back then? And on the contrary, were there albums immediately hailed as classics that fell into oblivion? It's a kind of sp4cetigeresque research to do, I guess. I have no problems with recent albums being called classics, personally. Artists like White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, and hell, even Kendrick Lamar to some extent, have put out records I'd be totally OK to hear someone call "classics".

Can agree with this. I think some albums are just so great that within a year or two after they're released they become known as classics because of the universal love and success of them.

I totally accept that what someone calls a classic is subjective, but come on now - let's not be silly.

There is such a thing as an "instant classic". Or, at least, that is a term that is thrown around. And yeah, I mean, especially in sports a game can be called an "instant classic". So why can't an album such as "Good Kid, Maad City", "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", or, considerably older, "Funeral" be hailed or dubbed an "Instant Classic"? I mean if you subjectively feel it's absolutely stunning and also the general music community recognizes right away it's nearly universal acclaim, why not? I'd say GKMC is an example of an instant classic. Within 6 months that thing was already something of a recognized masterpiece.
