Most could not sing doubt any but a handful ever played a instrument and bet most cannot read or write a note of music as all they do is fire up a beat box and spit out rhymes that are senseless but it rhymes so it is rap bahahahahahhahaha

As a child, I was forced to sit through an entire sermon on the multitude of supposed satanic references in this song.

      It’s deff Top 5. It’s the best from Led, but you also have Queen, The Who, The Beatles, AC/DC, and the likes of Pink Floyd.
      There’s so many bands that have beautiful songs. It’s so hard to narrow it down to which is just the best. Yes in the digital era you can look at the streams and how many likes and dislikes or look at total record sold since release, but it’s more then just that. It’s what the song means to the individual listeners. With each band having such a wide spread fan base across multiple generations it’s makes it nearly impossible in all honesty to say one song is the best.
      Now don’t @ me saying I hate this song. That’s is FAR from the truth. This is in my top 25 played, and I binged Skrillex in High School and Broadway come college. Just my two cents.

    One of the things I really love about Stairway is that you go through that whole first part of the song without even missing the drums, then they come in and turn the song into practically a whole other genre of music. Just layer after layer, each one taking you a little further along. It's a cliche, but this song really takes you on a journey.

I’m an old white guy but watching these guys get increasingly swept away by the music as the song crescendos made me feel a real connection and kinship with them. I know that’s crazy because we’re probably light years away from each other in just about every category imaginable but as I watched this I felt a real connection with them. I guess it’s the feeling of a shared meaningful experience. Makes me realize how much all of us probably have in common at our core. Thank you for sharing this video I really enjoyed it.

And I don't want to get too deep into this subject but, through his books, other written works, many English Rock Bands were influenced by his theosophy and when Jimmy Page bought Boleskine House Manor in early 1970's, "the hanging" out of English Rock Bands exchanged Crowley's occultism ideas. The link is a list of the Bands Crowley influenced. Some Background:
      The Boleskine House is a manor on the south-east side of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is notable for having been the home of author and occultist Aleister Crowley, and Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page.
      Crowley became infamous for stories of conducting black magic and various other rituals while residing at the house; one of his pseudonyms was "Lord Boleskine". His lodge keeper, Hugh Gillies, suffered a number of personal tragedies, including the loss of two children. Crowley later claimed that his experiments with black magic had simply got out of hand.

The music was different from the 60's and defined the 70's and they were just as great. Unfortunately, 1980 came and the mighty Zep came to an end with the death of their drummer, John Bonham.

    I was a teenager when I first heard LedZeppelin and it blew my mind. It was so different to anything I had heard before. I realized there were things missing in my life that I had to go looking for. And I did. I enjoy this song every time I hear it to this day.

    Man love your work. Some "reactors" are just loving the sound of their own voice, pausing every 10 seconds but you pause at strategic points and honour the music. I love how the smile creeps across your buddies face as the solo kicks in. Also you have the music at at level you can hear. Great vid. Great work. The best i have heard so far!!! AWESOME!!!

    The beginning isn’t a flute it’s a professional recorder. Not those plastic recorders you get in grade school but a wood recorder played by John Paul Jones the Bass player.

      @@ginadargento1754 I don’t want this to devolve into something negative but I’m quite sure that Jones played the recorder. In fact he is credited as being the player of a bass recorder, a tenor recorder, and a soprano recorder on the recording. I’m sure when they played this live they used a keyboard because you can’t play three recorders at once.

    Okay, true story: I went to high school in the 80's in New Jersey, and EVERY SINGLE high school dance ended with this song. You knew before you even showed up to the dance who you were going to dance with to this song at the end of the night. How you knew the dance was about to end was, this song would come on, and you'd go find that person and dance with them to this song. Whenever I hear this song, I get a strong olfactory memory of what it smelled like to rest my head on the shoulder of my high school boyfriend: what his tee shirt smelled like, what his hair smelled like, what his skin smelled like, the whole thing. I think this tradition had been in place at that school for at least ten years before I got there. UNTIL. Until this one time, some club or sport or whatever sponsored a dance at the high school, and they must have hired a DJ that had never DJ'ed a dance at our school before, because he ended the dance with a completely different song. THE WRONG SONG. So NONE of us knew that the dance was about to end. That song ended, and when another song didn't come on, we all just stood there on the dance floor confused. We figured it was some sort of technical problem with the turntables or something, so we just stood there and waited. And then the DJ was like, "Thanks everybody for coming, I hope you had a great night, blah blah blah," and we went into a state of deep shock. We couldn't believe the dance was over. We just stood three on the floor of the high school gym in the dark, confused, not knowing what to do. We figured it had to be some sort of prank, and if we just waited, he'd play Stairway to Heaven. BUT HE DID NOT. And then THE LIGHTS CAME ON. We were, like, traumatized. We stood there looking around at each other like, WTF IS HAPPENING? Until finally we had to accept our reality, that this dude had violated the most sacred tradition of the the high school dance, and one by one, we slowly walked out, speechless. That's how important this song was to us.

      Absolutely...the same thing in the 70's except when Stairway started the girls would SCREAM. I made sure to find that special someone. My olfactory right now is smelling Heaven Sent and the little brunette who I met at a dance and took to 3 proms (hers and mine). I can feel the sway and my heart pounding. No other song did this.
