But don't you think it should be given time, in case some other band comes along and does the same thing hundreds of times better before you go so far as to consider it classic.

A couple definitions of classic that support my stance:

- something noteworthy of its kind and worth remembering
- of enduring interest, quality, or style

I think the passage of time is basically essential for something to be truly classic.
