...songs have been culled from their first four albums, and all tracks are solid Zep hits, including the ubiquitous "Stairway to Heaven." From the smooth "Dazed and Confused," the band's bluesy influence shines through, in almost all tracks, including the laid-back "When the Levee Breaks." Rest assured, there are songs such as "Black Dog" that feature Page's trademark banshee wail, not to mention Plant's scorching guitar riffs, all of which became synonymous with the band's earlier studio sessions. The visceral thrills in "Rock and Roll" and "Communication Breakdown" hurtle with the subtlety of a rhinoceros...

Still, for the past three semesters, she has made pledge after pledge to join the Harvard Boxing Club. We walk past the office in the MAC on the stairway landing, and her eyes light up with a familiar yet eerie gleam of devilish interest. A few moments later, she's punching her way up the steps to our room in Leverett, holding her arms up in victory Rocky Balboa-style as she reaches our door...

Mick Jagger still can't get no satisfaction, even when charging over $300 a ticket. Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are still endlessly riding their stairway to heaven. And while Pete Townshend may no longer hope to die before he gets old, no Who reunion feels complete without a rendition of My Generation...
...slept in rickety log cabins without electricity or plumbing and took the mostly palatable meals in the "mess hall." And when a busload of girls from a neighboring camp would stop in every few weeks for a "social," we would all slow-dance awkwardly to "Stairway" and try to get a kiss to brag about at breakfast the next day. The end of camp always came too soon, and I usually spent the long ride home telling Mom and Dad how awesome the summer had been...
