For what it is worth, Tracy Hickman went on record that Curse of Strahd was replacing I6 for his hoke games where he runs it every year.

The Obstacle Course of Strahd
The only 5e adventure I've really run is Princes of the Apocalypse (I started in on Hoard of the Dragon Queen, but didn't really like it) which I have nearly completed (Covid got in the way and we never restarted it), and I would not consider it a classic. The only 4e adventure I got close to playing was Keep on the Shadowfell, and... no. So for me the answer's going to be Red Hand of Doom.

Im not saying it's not better. I'm just saying it's not a Wizards Originals so I don't think it should count.

Well, it's also not really recent.

Another vote for Lost Mines of Phandelver (not the Shattered Obelisk version). I would say that Storm King's Thunder and Curse of Strahd are on the bubble. I've never run CoS myself but I've read the book and seen how people have reacted to it over the years. SKT has issues but it changed the way I thought about large-scale adventures, and I've extracted bits and pieces of it to use in my campaigns over the years.

I have yet to run ToA, so as far as "classics," the most recent (though not recent) is Curse of Strahd. I didn't HAVE to fix a bunch in it, though I did anyway, and most important of all, my players had a great time in it.
