In reply to the discussion: Worst song by a major artist [View all]LynneSin
(95,337 posts)105. I don't think Stairway sucks because of what Plant thinks
I think it was just overplayed tripe of a bad song with cheesy lyrics and worshipped by too many people who have no clue the better music that LZ has done. Sure it has an awesome guitar solo, which is the reason why Page loves the song. But I don't think it's anything stellar in the way of Jimmy Page great guitar solos. He's done way better on songs that don't get half the AirPlay because everyone age 40+ still remembers that great 'Stairway to Heaven' prom they had in high school.
People love then song the same reason they feel they can't trust Clinton - because if you hear the same crap enough times it starts to stick to you. (Oh and I have no issues with Hillary Clinton, I just see through the bullshit).

I was going to say "Don't Go Breaking my Heart" by Elton John, but Island Girl is right up there!
