It's 100% cliche because THEY MADE THE CLICHE.

* Chuck Eddy, author of "Stairway to Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums in
the Universe":

"Stairway to Heaven" was the most famous rock song in Western civilization in
the '70s because it was the best rock song in Western civilization in the
'70s. No one has equaled Led Zeppelin's accomplishment: the marriage of hard
rock and this sort of corny medievalism. It's tremendous. Also proof that
words don't have to mean anything to be meaningful. I mean, what's this "If
there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now"? If I found anything
bustling in my hedgerow, I'd get out my shotgun.


* Jimmy Gutterman, coauthor of "The Worst Rock'n'Roll Records of All-Time":

The lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" are horrible, nothing more than nonsense
words enlivened by cliche. If I ever wrote "There's a lady who's sure all
that glitters is gold," my editor would cancel my contract. Just because
"Stairway to Heaven" still turns up as the number one rock song of all time
doesn't mean it's any good. Bear in mind that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is
still in syndication and Republicans still keep getting elected to the White
House.

i heard this crap in school (parents sent me to a christian school) and while the guy was playing this tape...realized it was a tape, not a record he had played backwards, and anyone can record whatever they want to a tape, and pass it off as they choose

meh to him

did the same with pink floyd stuff, there stuff is just creepy the first way, why play it backwards?

Sadly it's the masses who know zeppelin only by that song who probably give you that impression. I can barely stand the damn song, and it's entirely because of the fact that it's been played 15 trillion times on every radio station in the world.

Truth. I grew up in the 70s and I will literally get up and leave the room when it comes on. Same with "Free Bird" and about 2/3 of the Bob Seeger catalog. It seemed like a lot of FM radio stations stopped adding to their playlists around 1974, and after that just played the same two dozen songs over and over till about 1988 - then they all went to hair metal.

But yeah, as others have said, it was great when it was new. And Zep, as cliche'd as they seem now, were still the most original, most creative, sexiest and most musically proficient band of their time. They ripped off a LOT of material from black blues musicians, often word for word - but they truly understood and loved the blues. As musicians they could absolutely wipe the floor with any other British band of that era, including all those silly progressive rock bands like Yes and ELP. And they had soul.

The Satan-worshipping thing is all a bunch of hokum. Like every other great rock and roll band, they were in it to make money, tear sh!t up and get laid. And they did.

This one knows too much.

"The Walrus is Paul."

That being said, I don't think I've ever actually heard the song Stairway To Heaven.
