Are the 'classic albums' FAR SUPERIOR versus rock bands' other output? | Unscripted Discussion

This is an unscripted music discussion inspired by a comment made by Phil Aston from Now Spinning Magazine when ranking the albums of heavy metal giants Judas Priest. Phil ranks albums based on how often he listens to them. I'm not sure I agree with that logic (however nothing wrong with it!), especially given I listen to some albums a lot despite them not being my favourite.
This discussion poses questions of, do we get tired of the old "classic" albums and discover a love for other albums? Does coming to an album / song after a long time with a new perpective help the listening experience? Are the classic albums far superior when compared to other output?

In my opinion, it depends on what you love, because I was born in '94, and I can name a few artists like Bon Jovi, Iron Maiden and Saxon for example, and I prefer their post 2000's works the most, as it's my period for their music at the time, and I must say that I like Judas Priest's new album the most out of everything that they have done as it's an incredible album, but again, that is just my opinion, however, I still love their classic albums as well, but it's always their post 2000's works that I listen to from those bands, and especially Bon Jovi for me. Yes, classic rock bands are incredible to some extent and others can be worse than others.
I feel the same about tanking albums too, because in my view, I rank albums from artists that I love the most, like I love Bon Jovi's This House Is Not For Sale as my #1, despite people not putting it as high as me, or Iron Maiden's A Matter Of Life And Death as my #1, despite people not putting as high as me, either, and I could name a few more, like I could have chosen Judas Priest's Invincible Shield as my #1 album, but I don't think I could have put it above 'British Steel' and 'Painkiller', but it's just that if I rank them, it's usually albums that I love, but some I don't like, I just put at the bottom and list them in terms of which one is the worst album, and the others that get better as I list them, but it's just my opinion.

Thanks for watching Lewis, some interesting points raised in your comment.

There are still great albums being released, but the market is so flooded now with artists that it takes a little longer to sift through the junk to find the gems.

Great point

AC/DC released Black Ice in 2008, Imo this album is better than their classics Highway To Hell and Back In Black

I’ve never got round to listening to it in full, but I really like the 4-5 tracks that I’ve heard.
