feelin' old...
"Stairway to Heaven" is 50 years old this year. I was never a fan of Zeppelin, they were too "heavy" for me, I preferred the more melodious "Yes" who started the same year as LZ.
Still, it was an impossible song to ignore and forms a musical anchor for me. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...-b1810378.html

Re: feelin' old...
Maybe its my age but 1971 was a vintage year for music with so many iconic records made then.

Aging is inevitable but you can always remain young at heart.

Re: feelin' old...
I always think it's a shame that Zep are forever associated with 'Stairway.' It's not even the best song on Led Zep IV, to my ears.

Re: feelin' old...
Not much of an LZ fan either, agree with Craig - Immigrant Song or Rock and Roll are my favourites.
Got me thinking though, my favourite bands (Joy Division and The Smiths) aren't going to be far off 50 either....  Sheesh!!!

 But seriously, as a music-mad 15 year old at the time, the Knebworth gigs were the buzz among my mates. One was lucky enough to be taken by his big brother. |
