I was going to do this one last night..........I know what you mean, but I think Johnny has the edge for me.......very poignant so close to his death.

It's gotta be the mighty Zep SB, but I actually kinda like/liked the Harris one too

Obviously I will have to go for the Zappa version of the dirge-like "Stairway to Heaven!"

I didn't realise he did one GJ. *Goes to look*

Hmmmm, twas ok, but I still like Zep's

Oh god Rolf ruined 2 of the greatest songs on earth - Bohemian and Stairway.

For the vast majority it has to be the original. One exception from this thread is the Johnny Cash version of Hurt. Absolutely brilliant in every way made more so by his death shortly after.

Getting bored with Bohemian now, so not bothered really

I prefer Jim Capladi's version.  It is more upbeat.
