I heard an acoustic cover version of Stairway with no vocals while shopping in the Lucky Brand Store a while back. It was excellent. Not sure who performed it. Anyone have any idea?
Not that it was better than the original, just a refreshing take on an old tune. No one else has really pulled off a good cover IMO.
I know it sounds like heresey, but I have to say it - I think Stairway is pretty over rated. It's a decent song, but nothing spectacular. It's a bit long and boring. If not for the last minute or so, I think it would be very forgettable. For the record, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan.
Let the flaming begin.
