when somebody is in Led Zeppelin, nobody tells them to change anything because Led Zeppelin is performing it.

But even so, nobody here has written anything remotely close to stairway to heaven, lyrically or melodically, or musicially. And nobody here has performed the song anyway near that.

It doesn't need the book indicators of a hit song, they already had star power surrounding them before it was ever released.

Try writing a song that keeps a listener engaged for 7 minutes with no chorus

What the song does is build and build, and it's just great, that's all that's to it.

If somebody were to post stairway completely like the release, nobody would be saying it needed a chorus, because it would be obvious the song is great.


One obvious disagreement with you here Fdemetrio. Randy California, from Spirit, has written something extremely close to Stairway to Heaven. In fact, many would say he did write it smile

Oops ... after posting this, I saw that your comment is limited to "anyone here." As Randy California is not a member of this site, unless appearing in ghostly fashion, as he is long deceased, i stand corrected. smile
