Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin VS the O'Jays...

Which version do you like better...I couldnt choose... and I know it two totally different types of music, but I thought it would be fun to compare, etc...



O'Jays:

lol

I just assumed that the O'Jays covered Zepp or something, I didn't realize these were two completely different tunes.

I'm going to toss my vote to the O'Jays...

But only because I love this old soul stuff, and I'm just really sick of the Zeppelin one. We've all heard it enough.

Led Zeppelin. I don't understand how people can hear something too much. Where do you people go where you're not allowed to turn off the music or change the station? confused

That's the thing...

I hear Stairway to Heaven enough that I do end up turning it off or changing the station.

This was a first on the O'Jays for me, so I still can't see myself changing stations on it smile

Both are masterful performances, but giving my musical leanings I prefer The O'Jays.'
THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS!

Zeppelin's, but I grew up hearing the O'Jay's version more.
