Not that it matters.

I don't think I value context more than my own enjoyment, but it's definitely worth considering when talking about what makes a classic.

I don't really disagree with that, but in most cases, I wouldn't have anything weighty to add to that side of the discussion. If I don't have some deep personal investment in and knowledge of the artist/genre in question, I'm not going to have anything to say that isn't entirely subjective.

So basically, I think Occult Hawk is going to have a conniption when I finally post my opinion on Kind of Blue.
