No Cubed, Thriller would be considered retro or 80's pop, not Classical. As stated before classical music would be symphonic or operatic music from pre-1900's. Motzart, Beethoven, Bach or Wagner are examples of classical musicians. Carmen, Tocata and Fugue, Peter and the Wolf(the actual symphony, not the Disney cartoon), Swan Lake, the Nutcracker Ballet music- those are classical pieces.
