But classical will be included here in the "best songs ever" which is really the best music ever; it's all music. For me, there's considerable overlap. The best rock in my opinion has classical music qualities of some kind or other, and the best classical-- rocks! It all goes into the same ears, heart, body and mind.
Historically, classical and folk music overlap as well.
But we haven't gotten back to the best classical songs ever; off hand I'm not aware of any since 1942 that would qualify.
