Stairway to Heaven

[NAD]

okay just set aside personal opinion for a second because this isn't my #1 OF ALL TIME SONG either, BUT, as far as a truly crafted song it really doesn't get better than this.

i mean you have the following:
a) catchy/thoughtful intro
b) crazy/wild guitar solo
c) introspective/faggy lyrics
d) nice crescendo type buildup/climax
e) acoustic type ending
f) high pitched vocal hysterics at the end
g) ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK

what else do you need? discuss.

Supper's Ready

*ABSOLUTELY NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN*

"No Stairway? De-nied!"

You know I haven't really been overexposed to this song as some of you older people might have been so ya I think it kicks a fair amount of ass quite simply

honestly, i've been saying this for 15 years now, if not longer. i mean yeah, i could name 10 to 20 other Zep songs i like better, but when it comes to a fully crafted masterpiece of a song, Stairway is hard to beat.

and Møøse, i love you.

 

[Chromatose]

I prefer no quarter or ten years gone, but yeah it's in the top bunch

 

[JayKeeley]

It's great. And the last half is better than the first. It's that goddamn intro that kills it for most because it's the FIRST FUCKING GUITAR RIFF EVERYONE LEARNS.

Well, that and Smoke on the Water.

first song i ever learned:

Dawn Patrol by Megadeth

YES I'M THAT FUCKING METAL. :queer:

 

[Claws of Perdition]

one of the greatest songs of all time

 

[Erik]

I can't play it.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

This song is awesome for bowling, and in general.

I went to high school with a kid who had the intro as his cell phone ring. He never answered his phone cause every time it rang he'd just let it go and groove to the music.

 

[Birkenau]

I like the satanic verses.

 

[NAD]

decent but not amazing book. i like Lavey's goatee tho.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

first song i ever learned:

Dawn Patrol by Megadeth

YES I'M THAT FUCKING METAL. :queer:

kickass!

 

[E-bortion]

I prefer no quarter or ten years gone, but yeah it's in the top bunch

No Quarter = I think I'll get out my best of and jam to that tonight.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Stairway to Heaven is approximately the 37th best Led Zeppelin song.

 

[Demilich]

Great song! One of the ones (along with Tool's "Sober") that started moving me away from shitty pop music and towards non-shitty pop music
