The most gorgeous song done by Led Zeppelin. While the guitar chords are simple, it is composed brilliantly.
I believe stairway to heaven refers to a lady's greed leading to her demise. Much of the song refers to capitalism (western civilizaiton) and money in a negative light.

There's a lady whose sure
All that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a feeling I get, when I look to the West/ and my spirit is crying for leaving.

Get the stairway to heaven mug.Stairway to Heaven, the guitarists 'Chopsticks'
By the great Led Zeppelin. Great to listen to, great to play (just don't do it in a guitar store, you won't make it out alive)
Also a great stoner track.

The greatest song of all time. No noe will write anything like this EVER.
The satanic messages rumors are fake, Robert Plant said:
"I find that it's sort of an American pastime. There is what they call the in America the College Circuit, where people can lecture on Clearasil, AIDS, homosexuality and the like and get paid $5,000 a night. Somebody decided that poor, defenseless band like Styx and E.L.O., who are indefensible anyway, and masters of No Comment like Led Zeppelin would be good, easy meat for a university tour. I think it just goes to show how sad the world is, that people actually allow themselves to become audiences to other people with nothing better to do. To me it's very sad, because "Stairway To Heaven" was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. It's really sad. the first time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. I was absolutely drained all day. I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that. There are a lot of people who are making money there, and if that's the way they need to do it, then do it without my lyrics. I cherish them far too much."

Get the stairway to heaven mug.A total upset. One of the biggest surprises you've seen in a long time. Like discovering Ma'am and George had a secret passage to upstairs for Webster, hidden away inside a faux grandfather clock.
"Wait a second. So you're telling me Ivy is a dude???"
"I slid off her pants and...fuck. I think I'm going to be sick again."
"She didn't have a bulge or anything?"
"Nope. Like a fucking stairway in a grandfather clock...ugh...I'm going to hurl again."
