a classic is To Pimp A Butterfly which was snubbed, a classic is Channel Orange which was snubbed by Mumford & Sons

Face it honey, just because YOU prefer those albums over the actual winners, does not make it the wrong decision. But I guarantee you the GP will remember 1989, knows what "I Will Wait" sounds like, and knows who Beck is. People don't even know who you are talking about when you mention Kendrick Lamar, or Frank Ocean, as they have had 0 songs that have resonated with the public as a whole. |
who's listens to or remembers 1989 besides white teenage girls and stan twitter? lmao. "people don't know Kendrick Lamar or Frank Ocean".......yeah y'all are really delusional and embarrassing....get off of ATRL and go outside more often.....

Classic albums are defined by the content not by the sales.

What songs on 1989 sound like TD? What songs on TD sound like 1989?

How does one even define a classic album? How long does it take for an album to reach classic status anyways?

The GP must if it's one of the top selling albums of 2016.... 2 years after it's release.

1989 and Fearless are still relevant nowadays and people are still buying them  |
Album isn't even 5 years old and released by a top pop star, so of course it's still somewhat relevant lol...

This entire thread is a mess and only time will tell. Also, death at people calling Take Care a classic.

A classic album doesn't have anything to do with album sales. Lady Soul for instance is more a classic than 21 or The Bodyguard soundtrack and Songs in the Key of Life more a classic than Thriller.
And Taylor Swift fans should not be the classic police considering Taylor herself has no classic album.

This is such a lie wow.
Kendrick has been making waves with GKMC first and even bigger waves with TPAB which was supported for it's pro Blackness as a starter.
Frank garnered a lot of attention with cO, especially Thinkin Bout You and his performance of Bad Religion on Fallon. The year the album was released TBY alone was getting heavy circulation.

@ you (and probably the rest of your fanbase) still thinking that going from "country" to 1989 was any kind of risk when she was already making generic pop music before (already forgot WANEGBT, 22 etc ?) and simply ran to Max Martin to produce her an album full of radio hits  . Yall are really too much LMFAO. And lmao @ you being unable to name a Kendrick song aside of that Bad Blood mess, Taylor stans are always so quick to school other people on their musical taste, well expand yourself what do you want me to say 
So are Babel, Two Against Nature, Morning Phase, right Coklek ? |
You come across very angry and unable to communicate properly with anybody who has a opinion that differs from yours. Your posts come across as insulting more than anything else. Just my observation, as it seems I'm not the only one who thinks so 
Anyway, mixing dubstep with country became a thing after I Knew You Were Trouble. Completely switching genres when you are at the height of your country music career, is a risk, and has been written in the books as so, regardless of what you have to say on the matter. She could've lost her entire fan base, and could've had a drastic decline. Instead, she took the risk, and it paid off. She took the risk of pulling her music from Spotify in order to stand up for a bigger cause. Sabotaging herself from future chart success in order to make a difference in the long run is a risk, one that she was and is continually praised for. Generic pop music is a myth. Pop music in itself is mostly generic, because it is after all, what is POPULAR at the moment, unless the artist has a unique trait that resonates into the music, that makes that person stand out. Taylor already has this with her country/pop crossover hits, Teardrops On My Guitar, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (longest running #1 on the country chart), Love Story, & YBWM.
I've tried to listen to KL, and even more so when I found out that Taylor was working with him, and was a huge fan of his music. Although, his music just didn't do it for me. So, I can say that I can't name one of his songs because well, nothing is really memorable. But, you however can name a lot of Taylor Swift songs hmmmmm, interesting isn't it??

I am perfectly able to communicate with someone whose opinion differs from mine Taylor stan and I do not need your observations on this. You said that I uttered personnal attacks about someone, care to quote them ? If not, get off my neck.
Write all of the paragraphs you want Taylor stan, i'm done with that extremely delusional belief that claims that 1989 is risky because homegirl had a predominantly country fanbase before then. At the end of the day 1989 is a trendy pop album mostly produced by one of the biggest hitmakers of that genre and Taylor remains a young, marketable pop star and those are FACTS.
And you not being able to name a Kendrick Lamar song because you didn't bother to listen isn't my problem. I'm able to name Taylor Swift songs because I actually listened before I decided that her music was utter crap to me. You thinking that it's not memorable isn't my problem either (other than the fact that this statement is extremely laughable but do you Taylor stan). Funny how you're saying that Kendrick Lamar (one of the most defining artists of our generation) isn't memorable because you don't like his music yet this is the exact same argument you're trying to go against, me claiming that Taylor has no classics because I just don't think so. Interesting isn't it ?

What exactly is funny?
You think because some white teenage girls bought 1989 and shared "darling I'm a night mare dressed like a daydream" on their social media makes 1989 more a classic than the mentioned albums are?

Has their music resonated with the GP?! I'm not seeing it...anywhere?? I'm not sure if anybody could name a song of theirs, or even an album title.
Perhaps it's the same thing as you not even knowing who Ryan Adams is, when he is literally cited as an icon

Excuse me ? Where did I say that I did not know Ryan Adams ? I know him and actually love some of his music.
You sure love to make stuff up right ? Maybe you could stop claiming that I said certain things when I didn't ? 
And if you seriously think that Kendrick's music hasn't resonated with the GP just because your ass refuses to see it and don't like his music then there's nothing I can do for you sorry. TPAB was one of the most discussed albums of 2015 just like GKMC in 2012.
