It was a good song, I don't think it was quite an "it was an epic musical poem that captured the imagination of listeners across generations." It was on the radio a lot, but I don't think my parents were even aware of it.

Stairway to Heaven was equally memorable, as was Hotel California, and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Agreed, good, not great like it was made out to be. And waaay overplayed.

Always wanted to do Stairway to Heaven but couldn’t find a TV show or movie that fit the lyrics. Always open to suggestions.

Great songs, every one of them. Danced the nights away back then. And I think my Chevy is still at the levee.

Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs from the 1960s. I also like the other two.

Except it was a song that crossed generations. I used to drive a van for kids in the early 2000’s. The kids would break out singing American Pie. They didn’t do that for many other songs.
