problem with all of this is there's so much crap these days. we can get entertainment anywhere, so it's difficult to judge what will stand the test of time from this era. this is why they keep on making remakes
but i know one thing: it's not gonna be rap

i think the problem is most rap that has a message that will stand up over time isn't even at the minimum level of popularity to be a classic.

Some seriously shit taste in here. Sorry, but Avicii is not and never will be a classic. People don't even respect his shit music now. It's like all that worthless rave music from the 1990s. If you're not a douche between the age of 16 and 23, you don't know Avicii. God help us if children of the future consider that garbage to be classic. Also, talking about individual songs is stupid. What classic artists do you guys know that only had one good song? Iron Butterfly (the In-a-gadda-da-vida band for you Avicii fans)?
Want to talk about Album sales? Celine Dion, ABBA, Garth Brooks, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, The Carpenters, and New Kids on the Block have all sold around 100,000,000 records or more. Classics? Just because something was extremely popular at the time does not mean they will continue to be popular. Those musicians/bands are jokes now because they were TOO popular (and also f**k sucked). They need enough sales to be recognizable, after which sales don't matter. Zappa never sold shit for records and he is definitely a classic.

Idk bro I think NSYNC and Backstreet boys are classics. Again, you play that shit at any college and bitches will uniformly go bananas.
You guys seem to want some deep unappreciated music to be classics or whatever. usually it's the popular f**k songs that end up being classics. Everyone knew yellow submarine when it came out. Creep? Most people still haven't heard it.
The classics are never what you want them to be man. Unfortunately bieber may be a classic with kids younger than me.
