Timbale Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Stairway. Xanadu is great, but it's overrated in my view (particularly the studio version) ...and at the 7 minute mark, there's no reason to go on listening - it just repeats itself after that. Stairway builds and grows and changes and, despite being grossly overplayed, is a wonderful song. LIfeson's solo at the end of Xanadu is fine..but come on, it can't compete with Page's perfectly phrased solo. Bonham's playing is also economically perfect - his simple snare fill under "there's still time to change the road you're on" - and the fact that he doesn't hit a crash cymbal after it - is way hipper than a bunch of cowbell what have yous....And again, it's so over exposed, but Jones' recorder counterpoint to Page's main riff off the top is really beautiful. And Plant is no slouch either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahLutz Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I enjoy listening to Xanadu now more than Stairway, but Stairway is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
