No, not at all!
I downloaded all of the SC "songs," as they're called on the Blizzard website, and I thought that as the nostalgia would wear off I'd listen to them less and less. But I haven't. The songs actually have musical value!
(Actually, now that I've clicked on your link, I see the sound quality there is quite poor. You should download the songs on the Blizzard site. Not only is the sound quality better for them, but the in-game music is trimmed here and there so they comes off as more composition-like.)

Especially the expansion back. I didn't really like the original music.
