I think classics are overrated and don't deserve as much credit as they get. Just look at the 100 greatest songs of all time lists. All of them are full of songs from the 60's-80's. Why can't just 1 modern metal song be on that list? There are tons of good metal songs that mean alot more.
There's a pretty simple reason for this: you can't judge a song's longevity until it's been around for a while and longevity is one of main components of a classic song. Give it time and some of the songs you like right now will probably start making the classics lists.
