101 Versions of "Stairway to Heaven"
diggnation reports: "Over one hundred covers of the Led Zeppelin classic song, "Stairway to Heaven". Includes versions by The Doors, Frank Zappa, Dolly Parton, Heart, Redd Kross, Pat Boone, the Gregorian Masters of Chant and the London Symphony Orchestra."
Some are just snippets (like that audition tape for Iron Maiden), some so-so, but there are several nuggets there also. It's just amazing how many reditions this song could generate. I guess nobody followed the sign in Wayne's World saying: No playing of Stairway to Heaven. Meself is one of 'em guilty blokes, this was one of the first few (very few that is) songs I tried to learn on the guitar. Tried there being the operative word. Got the intro part pretty much worked out and ... that's about as far as I got. Which is just as well considering the many versions that apparently have sprung about.
