Answer: Stairway to Heaven

Led Zeppelin released "Stairway to Heaven" in 1971. Clocking in at just over eight minutes long, this incredibly popular song is on many lists of the top rock songs of all time. It has been covered many times including some surprising choices. Dolly Parton has covered the song. Mary J. Blige has covered the song and the London Symphony Orchestra have covered the song. With its quiet guitar introduction, it is a favorite of wannabe guitar players everywhere, prompting a funny scene in the movie "Wayne's World" in a music shop that has a sign that reads "NO Stairway to Heaven."

Mars performed the song live in October 2012 on the TV show "Saturday Night Live" and it is probably one of the best performances I've ever seen on the show. There was so much energy on stage, it was amazing. If you can find it I highly recommend watching it.

Answer: Sheep go to Heaven

"Sheep Go To Heaven" is a 1999 single by alternative band Cake from their third studio album "Prolonging The Magic." It was not incredibly successful, reaching number sixteen on the U.S. Modern Rock charts. The accompanying animated video was rather dark.

The members of Cake are dressed up as a Kiss cover band called Kicks who are murdered by an unhappy greeting card company employee. There are no goats or sheep in the video but there is a poodle. Sadly the poodle does not go to heaven.

Apologies to anyone who likes it but this song is a way over the top power ballad. Released in 1986 by Canadian band Loverboy, it was included on the soundtrack for "Top Gun." It reached number twelve in the United States and was re-released in 1989 on a Loverboy compilation album. The keyboardist refused to appear in the video for the song as he felt it glamorized war.

"Heaven's on Fire" was the first single released from the 1984 Kiss album "Animalize." The highest it reached in any country was number eleven in the United States on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It is one of the non makeup era Kiss songs.

Not many non makeup era songs were performed live once the band started wearing makeup again but this song is one of them. In addition, it's one of only three live tracks that were released with drummer Eric Carr before he left the band.
