What's your pick?

Without a second thought, Stairway.

I couldn't disagree with you more.

I love Led Zep, but in this scenario, Bohemian Rhapsody wins handily.

Forget both of them. "Sweet Jane" by The Velvet Underground is the greatest rock song of all time.

I too love Sweet Jane, but come on, it's not within miles of either of the two aforementioned songs.

I'd have to go with Bo Rhap. Zep's great, but I'm really not a fan of Stairway. Maybe I've heard it too many times. This is fun though, you should come up with more battles of great songs.

its a tie

Bohemian Rhapsody

Gonna have to go with Bohemian Rhapsody. Stairway is Epic, but Rhapsody just has so much in it that it kind of wins out against the repetitive sounds in Stairway. (Even if the last 2 minutes of Stairway are amazing.)

I'd have to go with Stairway, though I also give mad props to Bohemian Rhapsody. The problem with comparing them is that one is a rock band playing rock and the other a rock band playing sort of an opera/rock blend.

Actually, it's probably more of a tie.

Bohemian Rhapsody. It is just so ... special.

I'd take Led Zep's "Stairway" over Queen's "Rhapsody".

However, I prefer Dread Zeppelin's cover of "Stairway to Heaven" over the original and Grey DeLisle's version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" over the original. That said, I'd take Ms DeLisle's cover over Dread Zep's cover.

I feel morally obligated to go with Queen on this one. The track is, probably, one of the most unique in the entire history of rock and it has a far more thematic feel to it than does Zep's "Stairway to Heaven." If one were to give me the option of these two songs to listen to at any given moment 90 out of 100 times I would choose "... Rhapsody."

Exactly, it is just special. I heard somewhere that that song was the longest single of all time and for it to be so long it is so dang good. It was then corrected that actually "Hey Jude" is the longest single of all time, but "Bohemian Rhapsody" should actually have that title because it was written to be that long whereas "Hey Jude" just has a lot of hooping and hollering to prolong it. As much as I love Paul McCartney I rather hear the end of "Bohemian Rhapsody" than listen to him yell "Hey Jude, a-Jude, a-Judey, Judey, Judey" over and over and over...

Easily Stairway. Hands down...

Stairway wins hands down. I do like Queen alot...howeer Bohemian Rhapsody just doesnt do much for me...Props to Queen though. I just prefer Led Zeps catalogue.

Stairway wins, but its close. Bohemian Rhapsody is the one of the most unique songs ever, but Stairway is just a wee bit better.

Bohemian Rhapsody all the way... now how about if we included Radiohead's Paranoid Android in the discussion??

I'd still go with Bohemian Rhapsody but, I'd put ..Android over Stairway

WEIRD. A person mentioning Radiohead in a thread where they don't belong. I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
