half of those are good but they are all over played.

[AtrainV]

There are maybe a couple of songs in either of those lists that should be considered "classic." Classic implies an early start on a specific timeline as well as durability.

I'm not picking on you as to whether or not they are good songs, I just think you should rephrase the title to say what you actually mean.

[Born/Dead]

wu tang, most, if not all.
