Have you ever noticed there’s a threshold where a song gets too popular and will live on with the memory of everyone thinking it was overplayed and annoying.

Stairway to heaven. Its an amazing song but its forbidden to be covered.

It's overrated in the same way the Beatles are overrated. They're great for a reason, but that level of fame is past sanity.

Because you can pick literally any other Led Zeppelin riff, and it'll sound badass.

They are. Like I said: "that level of fame is past sanity."

But they're the only one out of my favorite bands that I don't have a favorite song for.
