Stairway to Heaven
Another ballsy, unorthodox cover of one of rock's most treasured songs. Call me crazy, but I prefer Dolly's version. Maybe it's just because I'm a fan, or maybe because I'm tired of hearing the original played to death, but Dolly truly makes it her own. A sign of a successful cover.

The original is perfect, why mess with it? Only Rolf Harris covered this to any level of acceptance by the Zep.

Wow- I actually held out some hope for this cover based on the comments. Pretty bad. For those familiar with NPR, sounds like something they'd play on The Annoying Music Show.

hahaha...this one goes without saying. stairway to heaven is one of those songs that was absolute perfection...nobody should record any cover of it, but playing it live is still cool.

A lifelong Zeppelin fan. But Dolly did a hell of a job. I love it!

Dolly Parton singing Stairway....what a joke! Its as bad a Sheryl Crows version of Zeppelin's "Dyer Maker". Way to go, you're on the right track to ruining a classic!
