It has to be Stairway to Heaven, without a doubt. One of the reasons i first picked up an ax. Such a mixture of styles, the best acoustic riff ever written and brilliant heavier bits and solos. The lyrics are decent too.

However, i have to say the lyrics aren't my favourite. i'm a lyricist myself, so lyrics mean a lot to me. Don't get me wrong, Stairway lyrics are good, but i prefer Manics, Pink Floyd and Sabbath, for instance Crazy diamond, Little baby nothing (Manics - early), Sabbath Bloody Sabbth or War Pigs. And all the lyrics from the wall. The whole concept was brilliant.

I also like Iron Maiden, but the lyrics are a let down. You can't relate to them, and though there are exceptions, i do think thats extremely important in a song.

As well as those i generaaly like songs by Metallica, Bon Jovi and Hendrix, to name but a few.

Yngwie Malmsteen is like God, only Swedish
