Every year around Christmas a local rock station does a top 1000 rock songs of all time and every year Stairway wins with November fluctuating in the top ten. So I’ve been indoctrinated since childhood with Stairway as the top rock song.

We have something like that here in The Netherlands as well, 2000 songs from Christmas to New Year's non-stop voted for by the public. Numbers 1 through 4 have always been Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Eagles' Hotel California, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and Deep Purple's Child in Time, pretty much always in that order. Can't say I disagree with such a top 4 of all-time myself though. November Rain has been in and out of the top 10 since it started here as well.

Stairway To Heaven sounds epic... I've always found November Rain to be a tad boring... I like both bands, however if there was no Led Zep, there'd be no Guns & Roses...

November Rain. Never been a big fan of Zeppelin.

There's a few on this list provided by Google that I don't really agree with, but there's no real denying that Stairway to Heaven is likely always going to be either top or in the top 5.

November Rain, while a special song, never really manages to push itself above GnR's other big hits. Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City or Welcome to the Jungle.

Stairway To Heaven:
+ Lyrics
+ Satanic message
+ The better guitar solo
+ Still sounds modern

- Too long

November Rain:
+ Cool video
+ Axls voice

- To much of a 90s style arrangement
- Simple love song lyrics

Nah, those obsessed with old people music are the ones embarassing themselves

Thats actually an incredibly immature response,  im surprised,your profile says you're 26. Enlighten us, when does music become old timey, what timeframe?

Satanic message? I always thought StH was about those born with silver spoons in their mouths?

Could some moderator move this to the music section of the forums? Since there is one, might as well, right?

Before I was born = old timey.

Although to be fair the 90s was actually pretty crappy music wise as well. Thankfully 2000 onwards was great.

Dude. The 2000s were dramatically terrible.
