AC/DC Vs. Led Zeppelin
If we will talk about these two legendary songs by AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, we can predict that Stairway to heaven is literary better, simply because of that specific band called Led Zeppelin. That outstanding band had and still has several iconic performers such as Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Bonham. AC/DC is one of the classical and the best bands in that genre of music, we simply can't argue about that because of at least Angus Young's divine charismatic nature and professionalism. Despite the fact of the significance of AC/DC, it still can't be compared to Led Zeppelin because absolute majority of the fans of rock music emphasis that the band of Robert Plant is simply the best they have ever seen, this thesis can be abstruse if you don't listen to that genre of the music.
Let's separate these songs from bands and analyze them. If we look at the lyrics of these two iconic creatures of the rock music, we can say that, Highway to hell is focused on anarchy and chaos. It invokes people to become free from religion or wales in daily life. In the other hand, this song has an excellent swing drive, guitar solos and the breathy sound of vocals makes it memorable for the listener. In the the other hand, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven has more complicated nature than Highway to Hell. Simply because this song has an equivocal

The vocals do not need to be compared because Robert Plant (the lead singer of Led Zeppelin) is acknowledged as the best " voice'' in the "Rock World''.
With all ensuing consequences, we can conclude, that both of these songs deserve a honorable place in the hall of fame of the rock music, but Stairway to Heaven is better than Highway to Hell because of it's equivocal lyrics, complex techniques, vocals and

    Songs are exactly like poetry, maybe even a little better (Griggs, Does poetry still matter?). The song “Car Radio” by Twenty One Pilots is more poetic and artistic than the poem “Acquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost because of the use of repetition, rhyme and symbolism.…

    I am really not a big fan of rock music but this song really had a huge impact on me that made me fall in love with it. The pace and tempo of the song is slow and steady and I like songs that are like that because I can really connect to them and it helps me understand them more better than a very fast and not steady song. This song should relate to a lot of people who go through the problems that faced in this song. It can help them better relate what they are going through in life. High and Dry is a really great song by Radiohead and it helps me relate to it in many ways that have been through in my…

    Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s Stairway to Heaven, originally titled A Matter of Life and Death, captures a distant interpretation of traditional views of Heaven, Hell, and Judgment. The directors do this by reshaping standard images of Heaven, eliminating Hell and restructuring Judgment. All together this created a vastly different afterlife than was constructed by classic artists such as Dante, and Michelangelo.…

    When I first heard “New Britain” I felt like I was back at my hometown church in Fort Worth. The song was full of joy and you could tell that the author wanted to praise God for his amazing grace. It gave me a sense of peace that was very uplifting. When it came to the musical piece “Florida”, I felt that there was a lot going on in one piece of music. One side of the room was singing different tones then the other side of the room, and there was a constant chiming in from the center of the room. The best way I could describe this song is by calling it a Feud, there was…

    Knockin On Heaven's Door

    As one of the greatest songs of all times “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” (Dylan) is clearly a call to leave the darkness and come to the light before it is time to meet your maker. Bob Dylan wrote the original Lyrics in 1973 for the sound track to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Dylan). Once best friends now on the opposite sides of the law I am positive Pat Garrett found himself contemplating the irresistible urge to quit before having to end his friend’s life or to face the demise of his own. Therefore, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” leaves you pondering eternity because of its slow blues like tempo and the morbid pull the lyrics give your emotions. Listening to the words of this epic song prepares your heart, mind and soul to leave behind the struggle…
