I have to agree in some respects RJ, I grew up listening to "Stairway to Heaven" so many times, that I will actually skip over that song sometimes when I play IV, and as the whole world knows many hard rock bands always tried to imitate Stairway's success by adding a slow/ballad to their albums a formula that some artists still do even now. I do like some of their slower material, but like you most of the up tempo hard rocking stuff was my favorite,,,Achilles Last Stand is one of my all time fave songs, just one example of course.
