I could see if maybe through time you got tired of the song, but to say you hate it & is the worst in history only says, you weren't born when the song came out.

they didnt steal the music for this song. if you are saying they used a chord progression that is actually quite common then yes, you are right. who did they steal it from exactly?

This unaggurably the best hard rock band period. Jimmy Page is one the best guitar players, I just wish the 3 remaining members would tour again,

Oh man, if you say this song is the worst, than you must not know much about music...
LZ is one of the most influential bands of all the time, and this song is an anathem to every rocker, metalhead or musician of any kind.

Only some one with absolutely no knowledge of music would deny the mighty Led Zeppelin their place as rock kings.

This song is great, but it IS overrated and it is NOT the best Led Zeppelin song.

agreed, i prefer the opening lyrics to heartbreaker best
"ey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that annies back in town?"

Stairway to Heaven over played. In fact Zeppelin is way over rated. Their first two albums were good, anything after that was just ok.

Die painfully okay? Preferably by getting crushed to death in a garbage compactor, or by getting your face cut to ribbons

Pixieat 8-28-2007

oh lucky me!! i saw them in concert in baltimore and stood within touch of them as they were on stage the entire concert. was deaf for over a week due to being so close, but mercy, talk about eargasms. now this is a great band, never to come again on this planet. yeah, i wish they'd get together again, i need more eargasms. screw those junebugs, er, beatles.
