The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
To me it's a folk song with a lot of prominent blues DNA -- the structure and especially the lyrics ("Gonna leave you woman, I've got to ramble," etc. etc.) are straight from that late-50's-early-60's coffeehouse lineage, where the lines between the two genres were very blurry. Zeppelin obviously give it a crushing rock arrangement, but at some point in the competition something's gotta give. I love both songs. But "Babe" is Zeppelin playing with inherited conventions; "Stairway" is Zeppelin establishing conventions for others to inherit.
