Many people say Led Zeppelin's song "Stairway to Heaven" is the greatest rock song, do you agree or disagree?

Why do you agree/disagree? If you disagree what do you think is the greatest rock song of all times? Here are the lyrics for Stairway to Heaven for those who do not know it:





There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold


And she's buying a stairway to heaven


And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed


With a word she can get what she came for








Woe oh oh oh oh oh


And she's buying a stairway to heaven





There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure


And you know sometimes words have two meanings


In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings


Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven





Woe oh oh oh oh oh


And she's buying a stairway to heaven





There's a feeling I get when I look to the west


And my spirit is crying for leaving


In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees


And the voices of those who stand looking





Woe oh oh oh oh oh


And she's buying a stairway to heaven





And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune


Then the piper will lead us to reason


And a new day will dawn for those who stand long


And the forest will echo with laughter





And it makes me wonder





If there's a bustle in your hedgerow


Don't be alarmed now


It's just a spring clean for the May Queen





Yes there are two paths you can go by


but in the long run


There's still time to change the road you're on





Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know


The piper's calling you to join him


Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know


Your stairway lies on the whispering wind





And as we wind on down the road


Our shadows taller than our souls


There walks a lady we all know


Who shines white light and wants to show


How everything still turns to gold


And if you listen very hard


The tune will come to you at last


When all are one and one is all


To be a rock and not to roll


Woe oh oh oh oh oh


And she's buying a stairway to heaven





There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold


And she's buying a stairway to heaven


And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed


With a word she can get what she came for








And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

If I had to pick just one, I'd pick Knights in White Satin by The Moody Blues
Reply:It's probably in the top 20 or so.

My mind has drawn a blank for others.... but there are quite a few more.
Reply:When you print the lyrics, it looks like the lamest song ever. Actually, if you asked a large sampling of people who have been alive long enough to have a sense of rock'n'roll history, I believe the answer would be (actually, it's obvious what the answer would be- drum roll please...) "Satisfaction", by the Rolling Stones.
Reply:it's a great song but after you hear it a millon and one times you get tired of it.ican't pick a favorite song,somedays i'm into rock others punk then the blues
Reply:Do I agree???......





My answer is NO!!!! =)
Reply:Hi Led Zep Babe.





Led Zeppelin is definitely one of the greatest rock bands. Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs. I actually had a ticket to see them in the 70's in Philadelphia, but the concert was cancelled and never rescheduled. ( I think it's when John Bonum died ) Jimmy Page is definitely one of the best guitar players of all time.
Reply:I disagree, because it always depends on what type of rock you put this song in. Today there are many sub-genre's of rock, so nothing today is just called a rock song anymore.
Reply:what?


























its good but there are so many to choose from..........hundreds of artists.....allman bros..lynyrd skynrd...the doobie brothers....eric clapton...neil young....janis joplin.......hundreds more
Reply:It's up there (no pun intended). There are others that need to be considered as well. For example...





Money - Pink Floyd





Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd





Breathe - Pink Floyd





Jump - Van Halen





Tom Sawyer - Rush





Back in Black - AC/DC
