      It certainly is a work of art, and very accessible to people not familiar with their catalog. I love the song, definitely worth the recognition. I am a massive Led Zeppelin fan, having listened to them for 40 years. Personally songs like Kashmir, The Rain Song, and Ten Years Gone are way better.
      I do love live version of Stairway to Heaven.

My current mood states definitively that the greatest rock song is that classic by the Doors - Riders on the Storm.

    When I saw Led Zep in concert, Stairway to Heaven lasted for over 15 minutes--incredible experience. Totally riveting performance by the entire band.
    Part of the draw of the song when it first came out for Led Zep fans was knowing what a powerhouse Robert Plant and the band as a whole were. That quiet, contemplative opening was like the itsy-bitsy spark quietly burning down a cord that you just knew was going to lead to a big explosion, you just didn't know when. By the time it came, you were wound up tighter than an E string about to snap with anticipation.

    This was the song that my wife wanted playing at her funeral. So you can imagine that now I have very mixed emotions when I listen to it - the joy of such a beautiful song and the memory of the worst day of my life. A powerful remembrance of this music and the sunlight blazing through the stained glass windows of the church onto her wicker coffin.
    I would have wanted "Turn of the Century" by Yes for her so now I have two wonderful songs that reduce me to tears whenever I hear them :rueful smile:
    Here we go ... the solo begins and suddenly I can't see.
    EDIT: On a rather less 'heavy' emotional note, why has it taken this long for me to connect the Maggie Renee, whose album "Craziest Feelings" I have on my phone, to the opera singer whose reaction channel I like so much?

    I think it takes a few hundred listens before you're not distracted by everything else in the song to start realizing what an insanely great arrangement it is. So subtle up to the drum drop, then it really takes off. Little doubt in my mind why people love this song so much even if they can't articulate why.

    The Kennedy Center Honors of 2012, which honored Led Zeppelin (among others) is a real must see. The highlight was Ann and Nancy Wilson performing a very unique version of 'Stairway to Heaven,' with a small orchestra (and chorus), which received a standing ovation from the remaining Led Zeppelin members, as well as the entire audience. I hope you make time Maggie, to view and react to it, it is a real treat.

    • @chrismaverick9828

      It cannot best the original, but the performance can stand alongside it. Ann's vocals are close enough to Plant's that at times they are indistinguishable, and her own style added to it in other places is exactly what a tribute performance should be. Plant hates when bands try to cover Stairway, but he absolutely loved that performance, likely because the scale was able to fit the song so much more than the original performances did. He finally found that level where the performance matched what he wrote.

      Kinda don’t know how you’d follow up the music that came out in that era. Brilliant musicians were seemingly everywhere. Occasionally, they combined and approached the genius that was Alex Zeppelin. By the time Bonham had died, bands pretty much gave up on being masters of their instruments and settled for quick-cash pop music.
