Bohemian Rhapsody ~versus~ Stairway To Heaven

I\'m bored, so I figured i\'d make a thread.

anyways, two of the most famous songs of all time.

Which one do you prefer?

I chose rhapsody.
but Stairs still gets love too.

I gotta go with Rhaspody, much funner song to sing.

[Evi]

AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sconf:

My head is going to explode! I like \'em both. It\'s a close tie.

I agree.

Both songs are pretty damn long.

It\'s plain and obvious.  "Stairway to Heaven" is a superior composition, both harmonically and lyrically.  Musicians would choose the Led Zeppelin song.  People who don\'t know shit about music would choose the Queen song, which is nothing more than a novelty song when you get right down to it.

I would vote for "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" by the Allman Brothers.  

stair ^same reasons

[nO-One]

Core is teh right.
Stairway gets my vote.

I know this will be lame for my reasoning but I have very fond memories at a young age of watching Wayne and Garth headbang to rhapsody. Which still makes me laugh to this day.

Now I love Stairs like I said before, but for me whenever rhapsody comes on when i\'m out drinking with my buddies. its impossible for us not to sing and act retarted to it, so its a song for me that brings a boat load of good memories with it.

I find I mostly enjoy stairs when i\'m by myself and can just relax and let it come over you.

[Cerberus]

Rhapsody for me.

[Kurt Angle]

BH for me

[CHIZZY]

queen sucks ass, so I gotta go with my boy Jimmy Page. That f*cker knew how to rock a pair of skin-tight dragon-embroidered flares. Freddie Mercury was a misplaced flamboyant broadway pillow-biter.

core said it perfectly

Led Zepplin will forver be cool because of the groupie and the fish.

I mean anyone who will screw a groupie with a live fish is cool in my books.

Oh and for DVD collectors, if you pick up the Led Zepplin DVD it has amazing footage of them doing a small gig with the audience just sitting around them cross legged. Years before they became famous. Very cool indeed.

Anyways, back to the 2 songs. I don\'t find it particulary fair to judge someones entire taste in music based upon one song

Had the comparison been between oh...lets say "rock your body" by Justin Timberlake and "over and over again" by Nelly and Tim McGraw.

Had that been the case, I think  castration wouldn\'t of been to far behind :P

I agree with your comment but I gotta say you make Queen sound liek they suck and if you think that then well, you suck


I\'ll go with Queen, but Underpressure is a much cooler song than rhapsody.

Stairway is a better song lyric wise, but I would only listen to it if I was in the mood for that song. Now Bohemian Raspody is a song I can listen to anytime.
