rjw63 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 A nice poll for all you classic rock lovers - which song do you rate as best? I love Zep, but Freebird is the ultimate rock track, one that I'd imagine most guitar players would love to master
Xela Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Stairway to Heaven. One of my favourite tracks of all time :-)
Rodders Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Freebird too. first time I heard it - I was astonished. I'm not a guitar player myself not even close to amaetur level - but if Iwas that'd be the one I'd love to play.
The_Rev Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Stairway isnt even the best track on Led Zeppelin IV.
paddy Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Stairway to Heaven for me. Not a big fan of Free Bird at all to be honest.
Witton_Lane Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Freebird, just **** brilliant. Stairway is good too but much as I like Zeppelin I can't get past Robert Plants all round cuntishness. I'd rather listen to LA Woman than either of those tracks to be honest though
xliosive Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I've been looking forward to posting in this thread all day, but now i'm actually doing it, it feels a bit anticlimatic.
tonyh29 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I could play "Stairway To Heaven" on the guitar when I was 14. Jimmy Page didn't write it until he was 28. I think that says a lot but decided to check them both out on youtube to refresh me Freebird wins it as Stairway to heaven is currently 5 mins through it's 10:37 outing and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz nothing is really happening P.S did I ever tell you that Stuart Adamson toured and played with Plant and Page at their request :-)
snowychap Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 did I ever tell you that Stuart Adamson toured and played with Plant and Page at their request Mr Adamson was a jolly good butler, though, wasn't he?

tonyh29 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I like the Cure , saw them live once and yeah he weren't bad
thetrees Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Perhaps the thread should be expanded to classic rock songs over 8 minutes length. Then stuff like 'Stargazer', 'Won't get Fooled Again' and oodles of Rush tracks could be included. On the original subject though I just can't choose.
TheSufferingVilla Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Not a guitar player and I personally prefer Stairway.
