Led Zeppelin Songs The Band HATES

Regarding Stairway, Plant said in an interview that he doesn’t hate it, but it’s a powerful song that belongs to a particular time, coming from the mind of a 23-year-old. He said that if he wrote some of the music he would have felt it more personally, but his job was to ‘write the lyrics and sing’, so he doesn’t feel the connection as much as the other three or a listener.

[@jellycream1964]

Bull, because he never wrote music

[@Waterfalls2016]

I watched an interview with him and when asked he was pretty emphatic saying he wished they had never done that song. That’s not saying your interview was not so he could have easily thought different about it. All in all Stairway To Heaven is one of my favorite songs by them.

One of Robert's girls who was accompanying him on tour were in New Orleans and Robert pointed out a drag Queen whom he allegedly said Jimmy had a "fascination"... not neccesarily into.

Yeah pretty sure it isn’t, he didn’t even party with the guys from my understanding he was 100% a family man and usually got a hotel room on a different floor from the rest of the band on tour. Or at least, if he wasn’t a square, he always tried to present as such.

When I bought Houses of the Holy, I listened to it for months. I started loving reggae around the same time but never realized D’yer Mak’er was supposed to be their attempt at it. I might of also started really liking a green plant at the same time so it makes sinse (milla).

There's no way Plant hates Stairway to Heaven. It might not be his favorite. He might have gotten tired of singing it every night for 9 years. Maybe he didn't like being expected to sing it at every show. But there's no way he hated it!

[@rumblefish9]

He does hate it. He once stopped his car on the side of the road and pulled out his personal credit card and paid his favorite radio station a ridiculous amount so they would stop playing the song. He's given many answers over the past years as to why he hates it. From how the meaning has been twisted and changed that it was no longer what he had intended it to be when he wrote the lyrics to that the song belongs to a different time to that he thought they had better songs to he was sick of it.

[@chetbarrasso2396]

Its hard hearing Heartbreaker without Living Loving Maid!!

[@mofost1]

Livin lovin maid is part two heartbreaker & a great song on its own. Maybe cuz it’s harder to play than whole & breaker. Otherwise, he should have made sure the two songs were separated . Now when u hear a boxed set or something & heartbreaker isn’t immediately followed by “with a purple…. It really chaps my azzzz” it’s like playing the ballad part of free bird then shutting it off when the tide begins a shifting & it gets epic. All except the ballad part. As there is zero part of heartbreaker or living lovin that’s anything near ballady, actually heartbreaker has the greatest solo in history & well you just never want the party to stop. Too bad jimbo, it’s ours now & the two are one! 🎸🥁🫡

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Robert Plant has said in several interviews that he does NOT hate Stairway. He just believes that it is a song very much of its time, and that it’s iconic status it gained was over the top. And he doesn’t wish to be remembered for that song in particular, as he thinks he’s penned much better lyrics later in life. He wishes to be known for the lyrics to Kashmir, and much of his solo work. His personality is such that the idea of being so close,y defined by one song is anathema to him.
