People define "classic" as "memory of the good old times". The sound of SWW or NJ is typical 80's, so nobody can say that the band was not commercial until Crush. Crush and Bounce feature the typical sound of the beginning of this decade. The band just adjusted their sound to the time we are living in. People who became fans with Crush or now with Bounce will always see these records as classics whereas elder fans will say the classics are Slippery or New Jersey. I think everyone has his/her own definition of what "classic" really means. To me, everything that I still like listening to years after its release is classic. So for me it's all BJ albums except for Crush, OWN Live and Bounce. But I think these three have a good chance to become classics too. They all are still running in my stereo, so two years after its release, Crush might already be considered as a classic...
