Minor Classic Albums

** This list is a work-in-progress. Some of these albums might get UPGRADED, DOWNGRADED, or REMOVED entirely **

Good albums which definitely give off "I'm a classic" vibes. They don't have enough great songs to be considered 8/10+ major classics. Great songs are songs that REALLY stand out to me every time I listen to them.
