I could just live next to a factory & experience that album 24 hours a day for nothing.

The only thing wrong with "Stairway" is the lyrics-(and I seriously love Zep).
Later Zep songs-"Kashmir" or even "Nobody`s fault but mine" were much better.
Lyrically, earlier songs like "Immigrant Song" or "That`s the way" were also superior.
Queen went rapidly downhill from "Rhapsody"-witness **** like "Fat bottom Girls" or "We are the Champions"

I love "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Bicycle Races" as well

"We are the Champions" is good if heard in the proper context of the album

A very hard choice here as the're both excellent multi-segment songs but I'll go with Stairway because the guitar solo is better.

So in ANY context are the words "We are the champions, my friend.And we`ll keep on fighting till the end" going to appear deep, meaningful and relevant to anyone`s life?
It`s football chant, Gary Glitter material
Likewise "Fat bottom girls, you make the rocking world go round. Get on your bikes and ride!"

sometimes you have to let the cheesiness of the lyrics seep into the overall feel of the song

not every lyric need to be ponderous and meaningful

i mean i find something like "Jeffrey Dahmer, commits gruesome murder" to be good in its context (cheesy thrash metal) - Soulfly's song, in case you wanna know

In what context are the words of most rock songs in general deeply meaningful to anyone's life? Let's not pretend most rock songs are deep meaningful poetry, they aren't.

And it's interesting people saying how iconic Stairway to Heaven is because it isn't really that to me. I don't think I've even heard it that much, probably wouldn't want to either though there are some nice moments in it. Maybe it's more iconic in some places (like America) than it is in some others.

Best songs of the 20th century? Seriously? They are iconic and have their own merits but nowhere near the best songs.

Does anyone ever step outside their comfort zone or at least try to listen to many genres of music?
