Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven is overall accepted as the greatest rock and roll song of all time; it seems to have been the more requested songs on radio stations in the United States ever..

Yet, Plant has always given the nod to "Kashmir" as his top Zep selection. Stairway is much better live than the recorded version. Kashmir gets my vote, too, mainly because Bonham's ferocity comes across in distinctive style.

. . . it seems to have been the more requested songs on radio stations in the United States ever.

Actually, I think Boston's "More Than A Feeling" has been played more frequently on U.S. radio than any other song.

I'll have to check and see if this song made the list, but I would make the case that Boston's signature tune had a bigger impact on rock music than any other . . . their title album was really the first ever to be mixed for an optimal sound on the FM dial.
