stairway to heaven

Stairway To Heaven is fucking shite.

I hate that song and I have to leave the room when it comes on. I have a morbid fear of off switches.

Otherwise, Led Zepp rawk.
 
Stand by my choice -personal taste and all.
As for Stairway being Zeppelin's best,well this article points to what the lads themselves thought about it.


A number of hurdles have gotten in the way of a Led Zeppelin reunion - little things like ego, money, management, solo projects, and, oh, the death of drummer John Bonham a quarter-century ago.
But one problem was a bit embarrassing. The band figured that if it did go out under the name Led Zeppelin, it would have to revive Stairway to Heaven, arguably their most popular song, a tune that topped many "best-of" rock-song polls for decades.
The problem: Lyrics written by a pot-smoking Robert Plant in a British farmhouse at age 23 were just a bit too silly for a grown man (now 57) to belt out onstage night after night. Rumor has it that Plant was damned if he was going to stand in front of a sea of people to sing lyrics like "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow / don't be alarmed now / it's just a spring clean for the May Queen."
Despite nine-figure offers, the Led Zeppelin reunion tour has never happened. Plant and Zep guitarist Jimmy Page went out for a couple of Page/Plant tours in the '90s. But those tours avoided Stairway altogether except for one inexplicable appearance on Japanese TV, where they did a short acoustic version. The rumor among Zep fans is Plant lost a bet (Page has always loved the song). The duo never once performed it before a paying audience.
 
Exactly, Jimmy Page was Led Zep, so if he loved it then that's the definitive opinion for the band.
