Poll: Stairway To Heaven vs. Highway To Hell

[memorex]

I don't know if we've done this one before, but what the heck:

 

[Ron R]

Stairway - who doesn't love the O'Jays?

 

[Vibroluxer]

Freebird, of course.

 

[bobio]

Not much of a Led Balloon fan

I'll take AC/DC every time

 

[_MementoMori_]

Overplayed or not, Stairway is a brilliant song. Just like Hotel California. I don't care if I never hear it again, but Highway to Hell doesn't hold a candle to it.

 

[brookdalebill]

I choose peace & quiet.
Those snotty long haired kids with their rocks and rolls and electrical guitars.
Noise, I’m tellin’ ya’, noise!
Where are my teeth, glasses, walker and hearing aids!
I’ll turn em’ down!
Hairway to Steven?
Highway To Helen?

 

[Ash Telecaster]

Yah, I have to totally agree with this.

 

[memorex]

But with 10 votes in, Highway To Hell is winning.

 

[Tommy Biggs]

Highway is one of the great rock songs of that era. The other one has some cool parts.
To me anyway. YMMV.

 

[fenderchamp]

both

 

[joealso]

I vote for Stairway to Gilligan's Island

 

[Si G X]

Highway to Hell.

... but only against stairway, against almost any track on the first few Zep albums I'd probably go Zep.

I'm gona 3rd that statement.... Totally agree

 

[Sequimite]

Jimmy Page declared this "the last nail in the coffin"

 

[Bongoslade]

hey - they have very similar endings - huh...!

 

[aging_rocker]

Highway to Hell.

Yep, me too.

I voted for AC/DC because it's the one I like the most, the one I want to hear come on the radio as I'm driving down the road. A song I would actually choose to drop the needle on.

I guess I didn't understand the 'vs' thing, I think stairway is objectively a 'better' song in a lot of ways.... but I don't like it as much, I wouldn't want it to come on the radio and I would more likely skip it than play it.

AC/DC has gotten me too many speeding tickets and my tires didn't last as long.

Now I'm that guy in the right lane with some Led cranked up and cruise control set just high enough I won't get pulled over but still getting away with a little something to make myself feel better. I may not get there as fast, but I got more beer money now and I get here in style!

 

[EsquireOK]

No contest. AC/DC. Stairway is horrendous!

 

[ChicknPickn]

I have to imagine myself onstage, playing the songs, being Page or Young. Which is the better fantasy? Yeah, Stairway.
