Both are awesome pieces of music and have some incredible guitar playing/riffs in them both.
Stairway, no contest, great guitar work, begining and end.

mackg wrote: » Neither of the posts you quoted said that. They simply alluded to good guitar in both songs which is spot on. Neither are my favorites by those bands either but dismissing someone as knowing nothing about music for the statements is more than a little harsh. Undeniably both songs have great guitar playing in them, the best ever? that was not implied by either poster. Appreciating the guitar playing in these is understandable as they are quite guitar centric songs. For the record I prefer Led Zep songs like rock and roll.

Forest Master wrote: » No problem. This song here called "Hypnotise":http://www.myspace.com/bandmanhattan It's a 16 year old's first bass riff, sloppy low-impact drums with horribley mic'd toms, no sync between the rhythm section (bass & bass drum), low-mixed meandering vocals that go nowhere, jumping in & out of falsetto, a sh*te twiddley bit of lead with horrible tone playing 3 crappy notes over & over from the pentatonic scale. And when it kicks back in at 3:20, the drums are out of time & sloppy. I can go on, but it's too boring to listen to.
Forest Master wrote: » Jesus Christ, man - I never said either of those posters said "best riff ever" - I said that people in general say that, when they haven't a clue. It's already been said numerous times ITT. I quoted those 2 posters because I disagreed with them. And then I spoke about people saying "best solo ever", etc, in a completely different post! Get with it. You applied a standalone post I made, to 2 other posters I quoted in an entirely different post.
