How do we know it will still have the same impact 10 years from now? I dont think it gives people an illusion or a longing for the past. It all boils down to how memorable the song or album is and the impact it has made. There are alot of albums and songs that the media call "classics" that I think really arent and then you have some albums that will never be held in the same regard that are classics.

Exactly. It's not ONLY the aging that makes it a classic, but the popularity of the album over the years, even after other albums have fizzled out.
