i have a bunch of records that i will listen to in 30 years made in the last 15. although im not sure if it qualifies them as "classic" but rather just great records that i really enjoy... but i dont expect many to have the same enjoyment.

but classic records in the traditional sense arent likely to happen in the current business model the labels operate in. they are out to make the quick buck instead of developing artists, rely on the entertainer and branding over substance... maybe things will change, but i have heard better artists that are unsigned consistantly over anything the majors have put out.
