The others ... meh ... the others I could see like Mest, the "remember those guys" bands.

I don't think that's the point though ... I think it's the bands within this scene that are seen as classic albums, not the mainstream. The ones that in 10 years we'll be talking about like we do "Deja" and "Futures" and "is a Real Boy ..." now.

I don't think so. But that's just me.

Japandroids, Bon Iver, Phoenix, Gaslight Anthem, Young the Giant(?), The National, Frank Turner, Radiohead, My Chem.

Some others off the top of my head that I think have a good shelf life.

For what it is ... I would absolutely agree ... it's well done.

I was thinking "The Black Parade" ... which I now realize is 7 years old, what the fuck happened to time!?

Maybe. I hope it does - in a lot of ways - because it's that damn good.

I think it may be one of those cult classic albums. Like, if you know it - you know it - and no one else has any idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Fun, hands down, has 2012 locked up. "We Are The Young" was the biggest song of the year.

That album's so good it makes other music so far look pathetic.

What?! Haha. Yes it did.

That is hilarious.

This whole concept is going to be very relative based on one's tastes obviously. I love maybe 1/2 of those entires but BMTH is the only classic for me. I agree with the person who said Marianas Trench's MT would be a classic.

Ok.

Yes. "Ex-Lives" is the last hard album I really loved.

I wouldn't say that at all.

21 reviews? Small sample size.

edit: well, let me rephrase myself. seemed to get as much negative as positive, but as a whole, it really wasn't close to one of the most acclaimed records of the year.
