Sure....here's a couple.
"Creep"-Radiohead("Alternative")(Slow-Medium)
"Black"-Pearl Jam(alternative)(Slow)
"Something I can never have"-Nine Inch Nails(Industrial)(Slow)
"Comfortably Numb"-Pink Floyd(classic rock)(Slow)
"Killing in the name of"-Rage Against the Machine(hard
rock??????)(hard-fast...kick ass!)
But you're talking rap catergories....I guess the only two rap songs I
could define as classic would be....
"Gangsta's Paradise"-Coolio(rap)(slow-medium?)
"Today was a good day"-Ice Cube(rap)(medium I guess)

There are so many songs that can be catagorised as "classics" such as The
Eagles - Hotel California; Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody; Survivor - Eye of the
Tiger, that is makes it very difficult to choose 5 hence the reason I've
plastered this page with 10 and there are heaps more I could think of.
Anyway,
Enough of my blabbering on..!
Regards,
Anna

In my opinion,, slow jams stand the test of time much better than fast
songs. That said, here's my list... (sorry, I couldn't limit it to 5!)
1. It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday - Boyz II Men
2. The Beautiful Ones -- Prince
3. Why You Treat Me So Bad -- Club Nouveau
4. If I Ever Fall In Love -- Shai
5. Ooh This Love Is So -- Al B. Sure!
6. The Secret Garden -- Quincy Jones, Barry White, James Ingram, et al
7. One Last Cry -- Brian Mcknight
8. End Of The Road -- Boyz II Men
9. Nobody Knows - Tony Rich Project
10. Before You Walk Out My Life -- Monica
11. Breathe Again -- Toni Braxton
12. Love You Down -- Ready For The World
13. Before I Let You Go -- Blackstreet
Come to think of it, I could almost make a new top ten list with some of
the songs I listed here (#1,4,7,8,9,10,11,13) under the category of SONGS
YOU HAD AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE POPULAR RADIO GOT A HOLD OF THEM
AND PLAYED THEM OUT SO MUCH IT RUINED THE SONGS FOR YOU...
(don't you hate that!)
Steve Kimbell
Wow...only 5??? OK...here goes
1. Come Sail Away - Styx
2. Faithfully - Journey
3. Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. Highway Song - Blackfoot (just love those slow-fast Southern by God rockers (see #3)
5. Get It On - Chase (anyone remember him)?
Man...I had to leave out Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, BS&T, Eagles, Chicago, Jimmy Buffett, Little
Feat, Bonnie Raitt, Police, Van Halen, Scorpions, Pretenders, CCR, Bob Seger, THE BOSS, James
Taylor, Jackson Browne....why did I even try???????
