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.

just because u like a track, or that you think a track is good.. doesnt make it classics, I see suggestions here like: Jonas Steur, Adagio For Strings, Above & Beyond, etc. they are well produced tracks, but they arent even close to be considered classics.. they are *based* on the classic tunes..
however I think these can be considered classics imo..
Three Drives - Greece 2000
Three Drives - Sunset In Ibiza
Three Drives - Carrera 2
Three Drives - Air Traffic
Amethyst - Andalucia
Lost Witness - Happiness Happening (Lange Remix)
Sosa - The Wave
Ayla - Ayla (Part Two, Taucher Mix)
Kay Cee - Escape
Moonman - Dont Be Afraid
+ many more.. blabla |

Well I think Andy Moor many sites tell he plays a ''classic'' Air For Life on his set ... well for me the track is really good ... but not a classic ... I write that I do not agree and the majority like very much this ... and many trance sites call these tracks a new classic tunes of course of the new stuff ... specially Above & Beyond vs Andy Moor - Air For Life and most of people tell Tracking Treasure Down is a new classic and others Adagio For Strings ... I don't like this track's ... now you remember Ayla - Ayla (Part II), Ayla - Ayla (Taucher Remix) that I forgot to mention and Kay Cee - Escape that I agree ... about Three Drives I think only Greece but for me it's not a classic it's a good track ... |

| that Tracking Treasure Down track sure has been hyped alot on this board unfortunately i havent heard the track, as I really dont care much about the hypes of today as i`ve been let down and dissapointed so many times by people yelling "OMG ch00n!!!" to some average sounding tracks.. that i hardly believe in any hype that my own. |
