I think Frank Sinatra belongs in this group, but couldn't think of which album to go with. I like your choice.
Glen Gould's Bach: The Goldberg Variations was huge and is probably a good contender for a classic classical album from the 50s.

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959) was the first album that came to.my mind. An absolute classic that had wider appeal and popularity.

Enjoy what you enjoy. I think in this day and age liking Percy Faith is more different than basic. And that’s okay.

Reply to do you think that if the Beatles weren’t a thing in the universe and some other person wrote and sang all those Beatles songs ,would they be (the songs) as popular as it is now? by ceretos_ia
Some of the songs definitely stand on their own, in my opinion. But their fame early on definitely made people more likely to hear their work. So, I don't think it is very easy to separate the phenomena of fame from their longevity as songwriters. I do have a,lot of respect for Paul McCartney, when I was younger everyone seemed to attribute the best songs to John Lennon, im.not so sure about that any more.

The Clash.
I rediscovered a lot of country artists as an adult that I loved as a kid. Johnny Cash, Dolly, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson. So technically they are all the artists I've listened to and loved the longest.
The Clash have held up so well.over the years for me, though. Loved them in high school, still do 40 years later..

Yes, I think some of them will be remembered. Who? I am less sure of that.

Reply to Credit Score dropped 30 points because they choose the day after I used my credit card to report credit utilization? by rouge171
My credit score can fluctuate depending upon my credit card balance, too. It will bounce back up if your balance is lower next month. It isn't a big deal.

I’m kind of afraid of actually meeting people I have admired. I’m semi convinced they will all be jerks and that would be sad.
That said, I’d really like to see John Coltrane play. We don’t need to talk.

Personally, I think Elvis is a classic. And the cover is definitely iconic, but the album itself isn't as classic as some of his other albums in my opinion. Classic Elvis is his Aloha from Hawaii album for me.
It is an interesting topic.
