Both "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin and "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC are arguably two of rocks, biggest songs of all time.
These songs collide with lyrics of opposite views, and the possible realities of the two different possibilities of life to come.
"Stairway to Heaven" depicts a narrow way to heaven, which you have to work towards and climb, taking some effort for eternal life in Heaven.
"Highway to Hell" Depicts an easy and very fast and wide road headed to destruction and eternal life in Hell.

Rules of this puzzle:
You must connect the beginning name with the ending name only by using six or less common bands between each artist.
#1: Hocus Pocus
Their song, Focus. This song has the greatest riff, a great drum solo but the craziest yodeling and hiccupping I've ever heard in the same song. I had this 45 when I was about 11 years old, and I loved it and hated it at the same time. View Video
#2: Starship (Formerly Jefferson Starship, formally Jefferson Airplane)
Their song, We Built This City. A great song, otherwise turned to hokey at the center where a DJ comes on and advertises the radio station that is playing on at the time. View Video
