Those were passed in history as "Rock Classics", but in fact they are out of the Rock realm in my opinion. But I guess they are defined as such, because the artists/bands come from a Rock background. So with the same logic, if Deep Purple made a song sounding like Rihanna exactly, would it be considered "Rock", because Deep Purple come from a Rock background? I don't think so.
