2) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

“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.”

“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.”

“Greatest Song from the Greatest Band.

... ’nuff said.”
