I heard an acoustic cover version of Stairway with no vocals while shopping in the Lucky Brand Store a while back. It was excellent. Not sure who performed it. Anyone have any idea?

Not that it was better than the original, just a refreshing take on an old tune. No one else has really pulled off a good cover IMO.

I know it sounds like heresey, but I have to say it - I think Stairway is pretty over rated. It's a decent song, but nothing spectacular. It's a bit long and boring. If not for the last minute or so, I think it would be very forgettable. For the record, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan.

Let the flaming begin.
I like the Led Zep version on the live set "How The West Was Won". Page adds some nice fills that are unexpected and Plant's singing is excellent.
AS with so many other rock classics... eventually they all wind up in the 'grass.

Dolly Parton's version on "Halos & Horns" ;-)
