(antiMusic) Just what is the most covered song in history? That's open to debate but as the famous music store scene in "Wayne's World" illustrates there is no shortage of covers of the Led Zeppelin classic "Stairway to Heaven". In fact, freeform radio station WFMU have posted 101 covers of the song on their blog. Yes, you heard it right and as they say it's 101 versions of the song that doesn't remain the same! Some highlights include Gilligan's Island version, Dutch artist Jeroen Offerman's backwards version (he actually learned how to sing it backwards), an instrumental version from the criminally underrated band Redd Kross, The London Symphony Orchestra, an accordion version and much more. Be sure to check out the Gregorian Masters of Chant version as well as Zakk Wylde's take on the classic. And why not combine two classics? As Dash Rip Rock offer up Stairway to Freebird.
