Is Stairway to Heaven really the best classic rock song ever?

Every so often the local radio station has a top 100 countdown of the best classic rock songs ever. There is no surprise at the end as Stairway to Heaven is always #1 (and they aren't really releasing many classic rock songs). I understand that any person that considers considers themself a rock guitarist ust learn two songs first - Stairway to Heaven and One (right?) But I wonder, is this really the best classic rock song ever??? If not, what is?

#2 \| 565 days ago flhsbagger (+)	+1 In my opinion, Stairway to Heaven isn't even Led Zepplin's best song. Rock 'n Roll, Kashmir, Fool in the Rain, and Misty Mountain Hop rank higher on my list. The best classic rock song is......

#10 \| 565 days ago pogoowner (+)	Hmm... I'll go with Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas. Really, I wouldn't choose that song, as it's not even my favorite by the band, but it seems like the most likely song to even be taken seriously in this discussion (I suppose Dust in the Wind might come up as well). The best classic rock song is......

#12 \| 565 days ago Justamania (+)	Im myself not a huge fan of Zeppelin in the first place. Im a HUGE AC/DC fan so this may be biased saying but i honestly think the best rock n roll song of all times is "For those about to rock". Im really a fan of the whole arrangement from the lyrics to the drums to Angus shredding on the guitar, all the way to the cannons. Great song to represent what the genre of classic rock was about The best classic rock song is......
