Freebird or Stairway ?

ATOT decide

stairway

I hate them both almost equally. If I never heard them again, I'd be a happy camper. I guess I hate Freebird a little bit more. The way that song plods along in the beginning makes me want to eat a pistol :^(

I hate these polls.

I always disagree with the results.

Two of the most overrated songs of all time. Preference to either is usually decided by your location relative to the Mason-Dixon Line.

I loath Freebird.
I can mildly tolerate Stairway.

 

[Ns1]

stairway, but only the live version.

 

[hdeck]

freebird.

 

[zinfamous]

whoa. too many techy metal geeks in here.

I'd say Stairway. Though I'm no huge Skynyrd fan or anything, Freebird is pretty bitchin'. And yes, I certainly grew up south of the Mason-Dixon.

 

[JS80]

Both equally bad.

 

[Fritzo]

Stairway to Heaven was a masterpiece of composition that got overplayed and worn out (too much of a good thing). It was the basis for much of the "power balad" rock of the 80's and 90's as well.

Freebird is a catchy rocker that kind of took some of Stairway's ideas, but approached it with a country twang. Not as innovative, IMO, but very well done.

Oh, I thought we were voting for which song reached my Lifetime Limit of Listening To first - stairway, of course. But not by much.

 

[BZeto]

Stairway. I love skynyrd though.

 

[spidey07]

I don't think anything can touch the greatness of Freebird. Ever.

 

[acheron]

stairway. how is this even a question?

 

[Babbles]

Stairway - I'm from the South but Freebird sort of annoys me.

With that being said, to be honest I'm not a huge fan of Stairway either.

 

[SonnyDaze]

Freeway dude!!

This. Bunch of Philistines in this thread, hating both songs. :roll:

 

[mageslayer]

Stairway for sure.

 

[Analog]

Freebird is somewhat flat compared to Stairway. I would have voted for Funeral for a Friend over both.
