Classic? Albums?

Today on The Rocker Morning Show, Stefani gave us a list from Uproxx.com of the 25 "classic" albums that are celebrating their 50th, 40th, 30th, 20th and 10th anniversaries in 2015. Now, I've always had a problem with various sources who tend to be pretentious, hipster posers like Rolling Stone Magazine, who sacrifice the truth for selfish reputation.

Uproxx seemed to be on the "right" track though with 50th and 40th. Then came the 30th anniversary albums- 1985. REM's "Fables of the Reconstruction" is ok. But The Pogues' "Red Headed Stranger", Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love", Tom Waits' "Rain Dogs" and The Replacements' "Tim"???? Come on!!!!
