Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Visitor comments about Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
“A Classic”
“One of the best songs of all time!”
“This is an incredible song! It's so great that it's becoming the theme song for my school's prom. Led Zeppelin is like no other classic.”
“Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. THEY are the greatest band of all time.”
“i love this song.
its classic.”
“The poetic storytelling nature of Robert Plant's lyrics combined with Jimmy Page's brilliant musical composition places "Stairway To Heaven" as the number one rock song of all time. Mr. Page's arrangement of a dramatic crescendo type development with the song passing through stages along the way lend to his (and John Paul Jones) influence by classical music. His guitar solo in this song is one of his greatest played with undeniable passion and ease. "Stairway To Heaven" is a legendary song composed and performed by the greatest rock musicians of all time, Led Zeppelin.”
“Definately a classic, performed by one of the greatest musicians of all time. A song which touches the hearts of all..”
“The greatest of them all”
“stairway to heaven is definitely the best song ever i listen to it everyday numerous times
”
“nobody knows if it really was a masterpiece or just a song about his girlfriend taking his credit card and going to the mall yeah but either way it is the BEST SONG EVER”
“Without question, the greatest rock song in history. Never released as a single, as was Zeppelin's custom, it became the most played song in the history of American radio. Created by the greatest rock band to have ever existed, this is just one of many Led Zeppelin songs that are absolutely timeless.”
“i totally agree with all of you this is an amazing song and i still can't get over the solo it is awesome
”
“the best one ever!!!!”
“Simply the Greates Song Ever Made. Led Zeppelin Is The Greatest Band:Jimmy Page:)”
“this song should clearly be no#1 on every single best song list around. you dont even need to explain why. its incredible. it is the meaning of rock and roll music. takes the cake by a country mile!”
“This song is the most passionate song of all time. You can feel the guitar solo pulse through your body every time. Gives me the shivers every time!”
“This song has changed the face of Rock N Roll forever..It sets the bar way to high for any other song to even come close to touching..Long Live the kings of rock Led Zeppelin..We love u guys!!!”
“blood tears no sound clear smile”
“Simply the BEST!!!!!”
“bohemian rapsody trash! ONLY STAIRWAY”
“this is the best song ever made because i said so. but i do agree that bohemian rhapsody is a good song”
“Surely the led is better than queen. This song was released in the 70s(not as a single) and still no1 actualy knows wat it means except page + plant
Amazing song”
“simply breath taking”
“this song is definately the greatest. great and meaningful lyrics as well as a creative crescendo through out the song”
“Best song ever period”
“The only reason that this isn't an easy number one is because of it is so cliched. This is unfortunate, considering the brilliant, flowing, elegant, bold, and epic sonic experience that Stairway to Heaven takes you on.”
“It goes from folk to rock. It is defintly the most beautiful song I have ever heard.”
“It is the perfect song. geniously put together, it has a different meaning for everyone and that is what i think makes it so great.”
“Led Zepplin's name is still so legendary that you can't walk down the street and ask five people if they've heard of 'em without 4 of them saying "yes". I believe Led Zepplin owes that a lot to this song.”
“Its the only one of it's kind and is unable to be reproduced. This song will truly live forever.”
“lED Zep rule. Four gods. Bonzo still lives”
“Touches deep within your soul and inspires you beyond what you realize. The song is a symbol of life's journey and how precious living is.”
“The greatest rock song of all time, hands down. Robert Plant's story of a woman being called by God just before the tribulation period couldn't have been better written. The slow build of the song from the lullaby guitar and flute to the thunderous climax, then ending with a whimper could only have been done by this most talented group. Remember people, as Plant says, "to be a rock, and not to roll". Don't roll people.”
“BEST SONG EVER should be no. 1”
“absolutely genius songwriting and guitar work, everything comes together perfectly.”
“Led Zeppelin is the best rock band in history musically all there songs are so good
”
“its the one i like the most.
i love the guitar riff
i practiced it continuosly till it was not completely perfect.”
“AMAZING! Stairway, Imagine and Smells Like Teen Spirit belong in the top three spots... Bohemian Rhapsody is good, but it's not the best song of all time. It's just what's "popular"”
“The best song ever, no doubt about it. The guitar solo is incredible, talent and passion joined to give one of the best rock songs ever. A classic.”
“its the best. the solo is great, the lyrics, the singing, whole thing is magical. best ever”
“This is a phenomenom EVERYONE IN THE DAMM WORLD KNOWS THIS SONG”
“superb rock song”
“One word. Epic”
“THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!”
“THIS SONG ENRAPTURES YOU COMPLETELY, AND TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY WITHIN YOUR OWN SENSES.. THE RHYTHMIC CHANGES,THE PACE AND THE TONE...THIS SONG IS LIKE NO OTHER,AND MADE LED ZEPP IMMORTAL.”
“Well since I have made my own personal list of greatest songs and having rated stairway #1 I think that uhh you should have it as #1 on ur list also.”
“Best guitar solo ever”
“I love Led Zeppelin. I love Stairway to Heaven. John Bonham is my idol. I love the guitar solo. Such an amazing song.”
“this is the song that introduced me to real music! i absolutely love it”
“not a single note is out of place, one of the greatest guitarist, singers, and drummers ever.”
“This song is just wonderful. Calm, beautiful, and soft on your soul.”
“What a beautiful song. Beautiful rythm, beautiful lyrics.”
“It is not just a song the way people think of a song. It is a way of life.”
“Greatest idea for a title. Greatest arrangement. Only problem is terribly over-played to the point of boredom, give the song a break come back in a month it'll sound twice as amazing (if possible).”
“dude this has to be the best song ever , i'm only 14 years old and havn't heard every song in the world but as a drummer and huge fan of the band, bonzo is the best drummer of all time and the rest, although bellow him (in my veiws) are out of anyone elses leaugue in terms of everything about them. they should deffinetly be no 1 by a longshot. about 27 years after the breakup of the band the are having a concert and heres an amazing fact. out of the 2000 or so seats available there were 2,000,000 ticket applications sent in. i for one dont think there will ever be a better band or song in my lifetime.”
“of this list (which isn't good) it deserves to be #1.
Great song.”
“great guitar solo
i just think its the best”
“By far, one of the best songs of all time”
“No song comes anywhere close to the vicinity of this song's greatness. THAT'S how good it is.”
“The song is a TRUE masterpiece. When you combine Plant's soft, melodic voice, with the soulful guitar playing of Page, then add some of the greatest drums of all time provided by Bonham, you get the incomprable Stairway To Heaven.”
“this song has all the necessary elements of a great song. from page's great guitar playing to plants vocals, bonhams drumming and jones perfect bass. above all this song time and time again will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.”
“unlike bohemian rhapsody, one will never grow tired of this masterpiece, it will send shivers up your spine everytime.”
“icant write one of those really long and complicated comments for this song no matter how complicated the song is but all together this is a great song that has had been a big impact on society.”
“stuff queen this song rules its 50 times better than whatever queen ever did wich was pretty much nothing”

I missed a whole day of skating ust to listen to the song 1000 times!”
“There are no words to describe it”
“A fantastic song, really”
“It's genius!”
“This should be No. 1, the greatest guitar solo ever."”
“this song is obviously the best ever
its an awesome ballad, then it build up to awesome heavy rock”
“The greatest song in the world, as said by Tenacious D, and millions of people”
“just a classic”
“I don't know how this song could be anywhere but on the top of the greatest songs of all time. the song is beautifully song that I normally can't help myself but cry when I here it. I live my whole life by this song. Plant and Page deserve a lot better than number two on this list. for everyone who says its not number one, go listen to it again and actually listen to the lyrics, here what it is telling you. that with the amazing talent of the great jimmy page, and the best solo of all time, puts this song above any other song ever realized.”
“This is Rock Music...”
“By far, the greatest song ever! It is the perfect song.....INCREDIBLE!”
“I never heard a song like this... is better even than the bohemian rhapsody of queen... is the materia-prima of the rock... non plus ultra”
“This song doesn't get boring you can listen to it all day and you still feel the power emitting off of it”
“The music is just amazing and the whole thing is just soothing to listen to.”

breathtaking solo”

“No way Bohemian Rhapsody is better than this song, yeah it's a good song in all but its nothin compared to the one and only stairway to heaven.
”
“This song is by far the greatest song ever written and recorded. Its not surprising that most people don't know what the song is about. Unfortunately for those of you that don't know, no one can really tell you. Its kind of like the matrix, you just have to see it for yourself. No song will ever match this one because it is based on reality and truth.”
“best song ever created”
“without a doubt... this has to be the greatest song ever”
“It should be #1! The hell with nirvana and heart.”

“The song makes no sense... But it's awesome!
Robert plant sleep with me!”

”

If you have never heard it you have never lived”
“musical genius. should be number one”
“Jimmy Paige does one heck of a guitar solo”
“. . . How can Through The Fire And Flames be on here? I'll admit, I listen to it every once and a while, but Stairway To Heaven is easily the #1 rock ANTHEM!”
“have people gone mad?
you raise me up... how can that song be on the list I mean compared to stairway to heaven it is just a tragic soap song.”
“Best song ever. The person that commented on Sweet Child O Mine should burn in hell. This song wasn't intentionally made to be satanic, and it is way better than any song guns n roses can make. They suck”
“Hahahahaha Josh Groban #1. This is #1 followed by Rhapsody and Comfortably Numb. Maybe even throw in a Beatles song, but not Josh... Josh who again?”
“From the very first note on Jimmy Page's 12 string to the ending scream of Robert Plant "To be a rock, and not roll!" this 8 minute masterpiece is the greatest song ever.
Zeppelin lives forever. We miss you Bonzo.”
“Should be number one withou question
”
“stairway the heaven is a brilliant combo of rock and folk. the guys from lz are masters”
“stairway to heaven is one of the best songs around. aside from their other song kashmir. and sarah brightman's arabian nights.”

“Screw stupid josh groban this should be #1
”
“this is easily the best song ever... jimmy Page at his very best!”
“How can this not be the number one pick? It is simply the most beautiful piece of musical genius ever recorded, and anyone who doesn't think so needs to climb out of the hole they are in. I mean seriously... You Raise Me Up? It hardly even counts as a rock song, and even if it did, it still doesn't come anywhere near Zeppelin's masterpiece.”
“you people are crazy. there are only three songs on this list that might even be right and thats stairway, smells like teen sprit, and imagine. all the rest DO NOT belong. wheres hey jude or like a rolling stone. not to mention green day is on this list. what the hell they might be good but they don't have any of the greatest songs ever”
“From the moment I heard it, I was sure. This was the greatest song ever made.”
“Why isn't this number one?!
The guitar solo is absolutely golden, the whole song itself does a huge crescendo with their speed and volume, despite its length it is still interesting all the way through, and Robert Plant's lyrics for this song are some of the best lyrics in the music world! I could go on, but I haven't the time!
It is one of the most legendary songs in the world and it is instantly recognizable. It should be number one.”
“this is a fantastic song why isn't it number 1 the solo is unbelievable”
“When I play this song with my guitar, I can attract chicks anywhere.”
“It is a great song witch I can listen all the time..”
“Stairway to heaven is a great song. Every time it is played it should get a quarter.”
“Call this song overrated if you'd like, but that doesn't matter. It's still one of the best songs ever written.”
“Greatest Song from the Greatest Band.
... 'nuff said.”
“This is just simply the greatest song in it. It has great soft melodic parts with great lyrics and then builds into a legendary guitar solo that no one on earth hasn't heard.”
“that song and band rock”
“The most amizing song ever I love queen but Robert Plant, John Bunham, Jimi Page, and John Paul are absolutley the best I play this song on my guitar everyday you can not say this is a bad song.”
“Wow, I can't believe it was NOT #1?! This was the #1 song on a rock station for like 20 years! Come on this should be without a doubt #1.”
“the best!”
“I don't think this is the best song ever, but it is the best on this list. Bohemian Rhapsody is overrated for the only part of the song I don't dislike (the "Galileo" part). I thought the opening and the end were at best marginal.”
“This is The Most Important Rock song of all time, and it is absolutely perfect. Page plays his heart out on that guitar solos. Incredible song, unlike Bohemian CRAPsody.”
“This song, hands down the greatest thing I've ever heard. Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song don't get me wrong. This song is something god would write”

Led Zeppelin is Legendary!”
“Amazing solo!”
“This song alone changed the music industry much more than Bohemian Rhapsody”
“This is the best song of history, and no one will ever do something even close to it. When people ask what's the best song ever, they ask except Stairway to Heaven. Believe, this is music at it's best. Best song ever. EVER!”
“Metalgod just said it all!”
“C'mon. people, let's put this song in it's rightfull place, the top!”
