I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, nor would I label it an over-blown POS.

It was, and is, what it is. And that's the beauty about that era- the 70's. We took music at face (ear?) value. No pre-conceived notions or expectations. It was a spontaneous experience.

Stairway to Heaven has a beginning, middle, and ending. It's coherent, it tells a story, and is in itself a very well written and performed work. I still like it although I rarely give it a listen. It brings back great memories and makes me long for something other than the trashy over-produced bullshit of this particular decade.

Imagery, curiosity, fascination - that was Stairway. That was the music world 40 years ago.

That whole album was good. A bit of a depareture from their first and second albums but a lot of good music.

Hey Diamond Dave, are you a Dolly Fan?

Stairway To Heaven doesnt hold up to time 40 years later like I Am The Walrus or Strawberry Feilds Forever

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Stairway is a great composition. Overplayed? yeah. POS? NFW

spot on accurate tongue in cheek and the horn section plays the "greatest guitar solos EVAH!!!" note for note LOL . I talked with Mike Keneally about it. Zappa was ready to play his own solo at the end but at a rehearsal Mike and one of the horn players played the Page solo and Zappa arranged it for the "best Band you never heard in your Life"

Zappa, one of the most underated and misunderstood ever. Saw Dweezil 3 times last year. That boy can play too.

 

[ginscpy]

Hated Stairway back then - still do now,

Overrated POS

 

[JamesInFlorida]

Stariway's a good song-but not a great song. Zeppelin has so many better songs. Most people only check out Zep. 1, 2, 4/untitled, and Houses of the Holy-shame because they miss out on some of Zeppelin's strongest albums.
