[Hey, hey, my, my. Rock 'n Roll will never die]

I have two criteria for albums to be considered  "classics".  First they
must be at least five years old to stand the test of time.  Second  they
must  sound as good  today as when they  first  came out  (subjective  I
admit).

After looking through my collection (which of course reflects my taste),
I would  consider  these  six  albums  to be  classics  (in  order of my
preference):

	 1) Who's Next - The Who
	 2) Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
	 3) Moondance - Van Morrison
	 4) The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic
	 5) Crime of the Century - Supertramp
	 6) Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

I would  also put Pink  Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon on my list but Bob
has already nominated it.
