Some of the most remembered, discussed and beloved movies flopped upon released. Are there albums that fall into that category?

Blackout.

I actually was tired of the electro and that's why I loved "4" so much. But all these stans acting like "4" is going to be remembered in 10 years are delusional. Nothing on that CD is a classic...and it was essentially an ode to various time periods in music instead of a trendsetting collection of new sounds that will make something like that stand the test of time.

I was just teasing ya.

I can't with people trying to discredit the Billboard performance from Beyonce.

It was unlike any performance I have EVER seen + still is to this date.

Right?

I know who nas is and I've listened to ilmatic (due to hype). but the NEW generation doesn't know him NOR that album.

So? Does the new generation know Al Green; Aretha Franklin, Salomon Burke? No, they are uneducated in term of music and it is nobody's fault. Illmatic and Nas stay unbothered, one being the best HipHop album ever made and the other being one of the illest rappers ever. No HipHop fan can pretend to be one if he doesn't know him or THAT album (and let's NOT mention Eminem's fans here cause most of them are pop fans and Hip Hop profanes).

Better yet, does the new generation knows Jagged Little Pill or Alanis Morissette? Some of the new generation don't even know Purple Rain or Prince, so yeah they are beyond irrelevant. Once they'll grow and learn to appreciate good music they'll find their way there.

This. The 4 era may have started a few months ago, but it is far from finished.
Bey is planning a video anthology, and a tour.
She also has yet to release peoples favorites from the album as singles like End of Time,
Countdown, I was here.

And why would FF be remembered? No offence..
Yes, it features some dubstep but its beyond generic
and one of her worst albums.

BTW will most likely be remembered though.

Threads like this can never just stay on the OP's original topic.
People just need to learn to accept other people's opinions.

I know many people are just joking but the fact that some think the 99 cent deal will be remembered at all

Femme Fatale will be remembered as Brittney's final curtain call.
The body doubles, the lethargic videos, the robotic performances and gestures.
The disgruntled fans, the un-platinum plaques. Poor Brittney people.

What are you trying to say?

DvnR

4 will be acknowledged as a classic Bey album.
Born This Way will be looked upon pretty highly as a staple for a staplefold between the 80s and the 10s in terms of pop.
Femme Fatale.. it'll sort of be only known by people of this time. It's not really one of the albums that can be considered timeless.

Vertigo Stick

Blackout is a Britney fan, and it'll remain that way. You girls keep assuming everyone is in love with these pop bitches, but the fact is Britney's 24 hour marriage holds more weight in pop culture than Blackout

Yeah. Prince's Sign 'O The Times, Nas' Illmatic (though both were certified Platinum) and there are a few others. At least these albums are remembered by critics and the market they targeted.

Most albums that flop are usually critical failures and that's why most are forgotten. People said being remembered by critics aren't important but if these albums are constantly brought up years later by any source, doesn't it make those albums "remembered?" These critics' lists actually make people research these albums some people haven't heard.
