If we're talking Stairway it's on The Best Band You Never Heard album. I wouldn't consider it better though. His version of Purple Haze on that album is also pretty good. Both are done in a kind of campy style. And then there's Ring of Fire (ow, ow, ow)

Zappa does it better.

Black Dog has one of the coolest riffs ever, but Stairway to Heaven is still my favourite.

"Four Sticks." I haven't listened to this album in about twenty years, and wasn't sure if it was Misty Mountain Hop or Four Sticks that I had particularly loved, but a visit to youtube confirmed that "Four Sticks" was the song that used to really get me, and it got me again. Takes a while to get to the really good stuff, but at about the three minute mark starts one of those musical parts that used to give me shivers, and I felt it again. Suddenly I was transported to another time and place... It wasn't any of my friends favourite song, but I used to rewind my tape again and again to listen to it on my walkman. I just got back into Zep. Time to find those old cassettes, and start with the first (hope I still have them).

As a delightful aside, have you noticed that Stairway to Heaven lost its' place as the number one rock song some years ago ? In America, Kansas' Carry On My Wayward Son was next, but in the U.K. Oasis & Queen seem to have a lock on the No. 1.
It's almost like a generational shift. Now I'm wondering what the next Top rock song of all time will be - Pearl Jam's Alive, Nirvana's Teen Spirit, Oasis' Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova. OF course, there will still likely be the split between the North American & UK/Europeen tastes. I just learned today that Bryan Adams has a bigger following nowadays in Europe than the U.S. . Indeed, his last album wasn't even put out in America.

I voted for Misty Mountain Hop, but the whole second side is brilliant. Anything afterwards might get might vote on another day.

By the way, I think there should be a law against rock n roll songs about rock n roll.
And speaking as someone who's had a few IVs stuck in him by this point in my life, I resemble that remark.

What? And loose "Too Old to Rock 'n Roll?" "Long Live Rock 'n Roll?" "Just a Singer in a Rock 'n Roll Band?" About half the songs ever recorded in the 1950's?

oi, their most uninteresting yet appealing record, I guess 'Battle' but there's just so little really inspired music on the album.. there are moments of greatness, plenty of energy and the production was first-rate but when compared to any of the other releases it seems, well, kinda empty
