Other songs that we think should be there are Freebird and One, but we weren't sure if they were as good as those other 3

I was in my teens when Led Zeppelin put this out. I bought the vinyl, and this became #1 on my list. I was at a stage in my life where I didn't know what I would do in life. This song taught me I could choose which way I could go. It changed my life forever. I still tear up listening to it. In 3 days I am turning 71. I have been married for 46 years to my sweetheart. I have two wonderful children and two lovely granddaughters. If not for Stairway to Heaven, I don't know. It took hold of me and never let go. Still my number 1.

I grew up listening to led zeppelin with my dad. He had all the albums on cassette in his truck. I was in 4th grade, music teacher asked us who our favorite band was. He was blown away when I said led zeppelin!!!. I'm the same age as you. I lost my dad last year. One of my favorite last memories with him. I got him out of the house for one of the last times. I said let's go take a ride in the car.....we have a 73 dodge challenger stroked and bored 340 and a 4 spd. He got in, looked at me and said.....this might be the last time I ride in this car(it was) so if we going for a ride. We're going for a fucking ride! Crank up some led zeppelin and let's go!!!! I did just that. I beat the hell out of that car. Never drove it so hard but he had fun. Led zeppelin cranked and slamming gears!

Which is saying a LOT because he's made it known several times that he's, generally, not a fan of people's covers of the song. I think the addition of the choir, orchestra, and most importantly John's son playing the drums using his dad's kit and wearing his hat really got him.

My junior year in high school (1980) a friend was killed in a car accident. His younger brother played this song at his funeral. Shortly after his brother hit “play”, while the mellow opening is still playing softly, some adult goes over and turns the volume WAY UP! We all just smiled at each other knowing what was coming!! By the end the windows in the little chapel were literally shaking! (no way, at this point, was anyone going to walk over and turn it back down). It was PERFECT, and if there is a heaven, my friend was there laughing his ass off!!!!!

Yes, it's great. President Obama awards them the Kennedy Center Honors. At those shows, the artists don't know who's going to perform. And, they're all great. Jack Black is hysterical at the beginning when he's telling anyone who might not know who Zeppelin is, all about them. Then, the music starts, the people there are celebrities, other musicians, and politicians jamming to Zeppelin. Heart was asked very last minute to perform this song. I think it was just a few days. But, John Bonham was the drummer and when he passed away, they didn't feel right about trying to replace him. So, they dissolved the band. A surprise drummer plays for Heart and it's Jason Bonham, John's son, that's really when Robert Plant started tearing up. They were all visibly moved, but it really got to Robert. There's another surprise in that performance that I'm not going to tell you about but just be prepared to have your goose bumps to have goose bumps. It's amazing.

My mom saw LZ in Vancouver before they were big. They opened for Vanilla Fudge. I think it was in 1968 or 69. She always says this when this song comes on. Every Sunday I take my mom out for brunch. On the way back we drive through the farm lands near her house. Its nice and slow. We talk and just chill. I always put on Stairway to Heaven for her. Its her favourite song. She is in the twilight of her life now. I think of only her now when I hear this song. I know I wont be able to listen to it after she isnt here anymore. But for now I can and do with her.

Maybe. I know I cannot watch the video my brother in law did of my mom for her funeral. It's been 9 years and I still cannot do it. As for your mom seeing Led Zeppelin in the beginning that would have been so great. The drummer of Vanilla Fudge became friends with John Bonham and they bonded over drums. Bonham was a fan of his before they played with Fudge. I've seen videos on youtube of Led Zeppelin when they started out. Their first performance in 68. they are on here and I wonder if a short video was done in Vancouver.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Hearing how you & your mom have bonded with this song over the years is very touching and wonderful. Getting to spend time listening to music with my dad before he passed earlier this year was truly a blessing. It’s been five months and for me it’s been nice to set aside some time when I can to honor dad’s memory by listening to one of his favorites (Michael Hedges “Aerial Boundaries”) and then playing something I’ve discovered lately that I think he would like while keeping him in my thoughts (Julian Lage “Tributary”). I’m so grateful for the love of music he instilled in me. Best of luck on your journey friend. 🙏🏼

You’re smart to start with studio versions when doing older songs. That’s how we all first heard them, how we know them, how we remember them, how we relate to them, connect to them. Studio versions are special, just like seeing the bands live was a special opportunity. This recording is the ultimate example; it is a perfect coming together of four great musicians in time, captured on tape for eternity, never to be changed. It is definitive.

Agree with you. I often love the live versions. Have very fond memories of seeing 70's bands in concert. But I went to the concert already being a fan. We were already in love and when you love something, you love it minor flaws, quirks, creative departures and all. Some live versions do exceed expectations. And some leave the studio version far behind. But I think most of the time it's best to experience a live performance as a fan, which is how it was meant to be.

This song, it brings you on a journey, first it beckons you to follow, then it holds your hand, then it runs and pulls you along and finally you are moving at warp speed with it. For today's music people are corrupted by social media content overload so there is a quick gratification impulse, if it doesn't do something within 3 seconds it is mentally swiped. Another thing is music was not so direct to audience, they actually have to be curated by many levels before they would reach a radio station and even get airtime. Now someone makes music and stream it and it reaches mass audience immediately. Not that it's a bad thing but it caused so much "noise" and what social media algorithm does is it doesn't curate according to what's good, but what's liked by more people. And that's all well and good if what's good is what's liked, but like I mentioned now people want a quick/instant gratification instead of a journey so what the algorithm pushes out would be those instead and yes they do well cos those are liked by many and so the social media gets to serve more ads and earn more money and those pushing out bad but popular music also earns more money so kind of everybody wins but the effect is good music is lost.

And the variety. It was all GENUINE. Synthesizers were in use, but only as another, alternative instrument. They weren't really something that were used to generate instrumental tracks in place of having talent and actually playing instruments. And singers SANG. Studio mixing, yes. Autotune, NO.

When I was 24 years old I owned a jingle company in Birmingham, AL. I was asked by the studio I worked at if I wanted to drive one of three limos to pickup Led Zeplin and the take them to their private jet after the concert. I got to stand at the edge of the stage about 10 feet from where this amazing song was performed live. After the concert was over I drove three of the group to the runway where they boarded their private jet. Once in a lifetime experience.

I'm 62 and first heard this song at around 13. I know Robert Plant's favorite song is Kashmir even though Stairway is more highly recognized but all I can say is remembering my youth in the 70s and loving music so much that I had it playing on my radio, 8-track, cassette. From rock, prog-rock, folk, the 60s70s80s were and still are the greatest era of music and the best time to be alive.

By the time I was a teen, they’d long been disbanded and John long passed on 😢 I would have given my left kidney and half of my right to have been alive in the time of Zeppelin. 😂 Just to see them live. Still my Favorite band of all time. And in my humble opinion, the greatest pure rock band that ever was, or ever will be. You were so, so lucky. ♥️

My dad got me an international radio when I was in high school., and one night I tuned into a Dutch radio station. The DJ was playing "oldies" and about the 6th song he played was Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven. That night was the first time I ever heard the song. I was instantly in love with the song, and has been my all time favourite song ever since. It completely blew me. Many years later my wife and I had twin boys, they are called Robert and Jimmy. Also, Whole Lotta Love was our wedding song.
