Stairway to Heaven

There’s nothing much to talk about songs that are carbon-copied than covered. This song is an exception – even playing it exactly as Led Zeppelin did is a feat of its own. In such a case, improvisations can only be an excuse for ineptitude, or exhibiting mere lack of perfection. Well, you have an exception for that too – the one by Jimi Hendrix. May be because, when he covered the song, he was pretty close to heaven. Or, may be because, he is actually a few steps above Jimmy Page as Rolling Stones has placed him.
