I JUST HEARD THE GREATEST SONG EVER!! Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven REACTION!!

[@MDreeezy]

I THINK I JUST LISTENED TO A TOP 5 SONG OF ALL TIME😲

[@dadmateryn8092]

[@lisarainbow9703]

When I listened to my favorite radio station do the Top 500 Song countdown every year, over Memorial Day weekend, guess which song ALWAYS was in the #1 position every year......👀

[@jrutt2675]

Its the number #1 most requested song on radio ever!

[@sicotshit7068]

It’s actually still considered the number #1 song, I’ve heard it’s been played more then any other song. I believe every year on Sirius XM classic vinyl top 100 countdown, it always lands in number one spot. Thank you for deciding to listen to Led Zeppelin, all their songs are great, some might not be your favorites but you won’t hate them either. Keep enjoying them, you won’t be sorry.

this song is mystic and magic -you can hear it 100 times and more and still find out s.th. else. So unique!

[@ezraburgess895]

I am now 71 years old and experienced this song when it was first released in 1971, and like everyone in my generation, I can tell you we were as mesmerized by it as much then and you are today. Over the many years since Led Zeppelin produced this epic song, I use to listen to the famous radio personality, Casey Cassin. produce his "Countdown to the 100 best songs of all Time" every Fourth of July weekend and this song was repeatedly , year after year, voted as the number one greatest song of all time. It is truly the greatest rock ballad of all time, and Robert Plant's vocal, Jimmy Page's guitar riff and John Henry Bonham's drum solo are one of the greatest of all time. I am truly thankful that I lived through the greatest period in rock music.

Pink Floyd. Way better for me (music is obviously subjective). LZ had many worse songs that I’d skip over. (Not saying Floyd didn’t put songs out I didn’t like) Myfavorite is Rain Song by LZ. Echoes by Floyd. Both masterpieces.

Zep had so many different genres within their albums so as never to get bored. I grew up with all these fantastic bands. The Beatles, Floyd, Purple... All of them.
