Led Zeppelin's masterpiece is a pretty weird song. It's more than eight minutes long, it's structured more like classical music than typical classic rock, and its lyrics are full of medieval mysticism. It's also perhaps the biggest rock song of all time, the one track played on FM radio more often than any other song, ever. In fact, 'Stairway' might just be the Holy Grail of rock n' roll.
