Stairway easily. Great lyrics, excellent build up and then one of the best solos of all time. Freebird? Boring as hell. ESPECIALLY the solo... it feels almost meaningless. I mean cmon... "and as we wind on down the road... our shadows taller than our souls...." ...god damn

This.

Other than the great guitar work, Free Bird is pathetic.

Stairway is a great tune that has been overplayed, much like "At Last" (Etta James) and "What a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong).

Freebird sucks until the only part anyone cares about.

Stairway is good, but it's so overplayed it's sickening.

We need a new song for America.

I really don't understand how there are so many people who hate both? How could you actually hate these songs? I can understand that they're overplayed and yeah, that's annoying, but actually hating the songs themselves? Yikes. I'm not a huge Skynyrd fan but I can definitely appreciate Freebird. Stairway to Heaven, though, is just a masterpiece.
