it's not what I think. I was talking about music canon. Thought it was obvious that the word 'classic' in industry terms meant it had to be canonical and an album becomes that by way of acclaim and influence hence, all the lists that are compiled.

I agree with all those albums you named being classics.

Like a Virgin
True Blue
Like a Prayer
Ray of Light

Beyoncè isn't a legend.

And none of her albums are 'iconic'.

"Legend" X
Jessica Simpson's nickname also has the word legend in it, so her too.

Repent

I was gonna say Blondie but Parallel Lines is pretty iconic

Lies

Diana has The Boss and diana.
Donna has Bad Girls and She Works Hard For The Money.

Teas.

Like A Prayer can be debatable but Like A Virgin IS iconic. Into The Groove, Material Girl, Dress Me Up and the album title song are ICONIC.

That era defines the new term "Wannabe" All the girls in the US wanted to like Madonna, dress like Madonna, be wild and free like Madonna.

Not Mariah being mentioned when Merry Christmas is the definition of an iconic timeless album

And Ray of Light is NOT iconic

Ppl saying Mimi.

Music Box
Daydream
Merry Christmas
Butterfly
GLITTER
Emancipation

I mean.

I love her with all my cucu, but I think Kylie qualifies for this.
