Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin




Robert Plant (born on 20 August 1948, so is 64 today) wrote the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven– they work magically well but are obscure in meaning.  Jimmy Page’s guitar work on the track is sublime.  An epic song by an epic British rock band.  Because of its length it was never released as a single.

Conspiracy theorists say that it has Satanic messages when played backwards!

Robert Plant got sick of performing the song – he said “I’ll break out in hives if I had to sing it in every show”.
