Eye Candy (50)

Eye Candy observes that 2021 is, among other things, the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s 1971 untitled fourth release, known ever since as IV, and containing the deservedly epic “Stairway to Heaven”. To commemorate, Aussie mashup master Tom Compagnoni created an equally deserving epic, a mashup of 100 YouTube covers of the song. In the intervening decades, “Stairway to Heaven” has become part of us. This mashup shows why.
#StairwaytoHeaven by #LedZeppelin is turning 50. To celebrate, I mashed together 100 different YouTube covers of the song into this performance. https://t.co/HWRvWWnuRf
