Unfortunately, classics aren't necessarily great, nor do they have to be groundbreaking. Classics are classics because they are remembered and passed on memetically to later generations. The White Room will always be remembered in trance, partly because of newbies who lauded it in its early years, and partly by elitists who considered as nothing more than mediocre, generic McProg. Personally, I consider Out of the Blue to be one of the worst trance tracks ever written, but it'll still be a trance classic, because it will be remembered.
Unfortunately, the classics are so very often some of the most poppy, derivative and uninspired crap to have hit the decks, mostly because of the tendancy of the music industry to inject pop into a style and recycle everything that's been done, then they make sure that only their stuff is readily available. That's the stuff that remains famous, and it's the stuff that becomes the classics. The only thing that can be done for more unknown, but truly inspired, good music is for it to be promoted by the people that listen to it a lot. They shouldn't wast their time complaining about the pop machine, because nothing can really be done about that.
