[greyfriar]

It would certainly make my top 20!

I know that this song is surely played to death by anyone who loves Zep, but it was the first one that hooked me when I was a kid. I'm still loving it to this day.

[Mithrandir]

Only one responder has Whole Lotta Loved in their top 10?? That's nuts.

Has anyone listed Stairway to Heaven? It's as perfect as a Zep song can get, but I think we've all heard it so much it's just taken for granted.

Mithrandir remarked a few posts ago: "And no one has Stairway? or are ya'll too cool to list Stairway?"

[toscanobarga]

The question was "at this time of writing".

 

For many "at this time" is a time when Stairway has been overplayed to death.

 

doesn't mean it's not a great song.
