Stretching out the concept of classic my nomination is:
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN “Symphony No. 3 in E flat major ‘Eroica’, 2nd Movement: Marcia funebre, Adagio assai” (1803), 1962 version performed by Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Herbert von Karajan
Please tell me if it's not eligible and I'll send the next song on my list...

Well Honorio, I asked myself the exact same question when I nominated Greensleeves. But still went ahead with it so you’re fine !
It’ll make an interesting chart next week !

Moloko - Fun For Me
But I was caught, like a fleeting thought,
Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind
