Pink Floyd especially the live version off Delicate Sound of Thunder. I can listen to Stairway again, but it was over ten years since I played IV, just got so tired of FM stations playing Zeppelin to death.

CN but then again I've not listened to the whole stairway to heaven in over 25 years. I walk out of rooms to avoid it


I did this very thing for the longest time. Then one day, I let it play, and rediscovered the solo.

Stairway to Heaven, Comfortably Numb is ok but not a song I like all that much.

Both tracks have an epic guitar solo in them. I think that as awesome as Page's guitar work was towards the end of Stairway, the rest of the song doesn't hold the same emotion. Comfortably Numb's guitar solo (to me) is one of the most heartfelt and emotional guitar solos in the history of rock music and that goes for both solos in the song.

Floyd gets my vote
