Cover vs. Original

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.

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!

By Far Zep. But I liked Dolly's version. Nice Suprise.

Sorry kids but, Blue Grass is music also. Robert Plant thought the cover was okay, his opinion is good enough for me.

BTW - I have heard the original live and in person several times.

Rolf Harris did a better version than Led Zeppelin too.
