A coluna "Classic Tracks" da revista Mix Magazine analisa todo mês uma música que marcou época, contando um pouco da sua história, o cenário musical e algumas técnicas de gravação utilizadas na ocasião.

A lista atual vai de 1960 a 1992, com diversos estilos e faixas que certamente conhecemos e continuamos a admirar.

Faz sentido dizer que todas elas possuem 8 ou mais musipontos ?
