Stairway to Heaven is one of Zep's least favourite songs and surely both overplayed and overated. I agree the solo has been voted best solo of all time on numerous guitar magazine polls and I enjoy listening to it. However in terms of whether it ROCKSs or not, well, I have to say that songs like Trampled Underfoot and Dazed & Confused rank higher. Strangely enough Since I've Been Loving You has just come up on random play from my PC, another contender 🙂
Now if you want a song that really ROCKS I would suggest Paranoid Android by Radiohead

Originally posted by Frank BurnsI actually like "Fool in the Rain" by Zeppelin but the other songs were great to me when I was 12 years old. They are still not bad but I don't think they hold strong as they used to. Today, to me, most music is so horrible that I have to just listen to NPR to keep my sanity.
