Xanadu.
Stairway's awesome (Heart's rendition at Kennedy Center Honors was amazing), but overplayed.

Haha.

I think Stairway to Heaven vs Bohemian Rhapsody would be a good battle.

Yeah, I guess few songs stand a chance against Stairway to Heaven... well, at least as far as classic non-prog songs go. But Bohemian Rhapsody would be one of them.

I love Rush but Led Zeppelin are gods in my book, so "Stairway" got my vote. 

Led Zeppelin are #5 on my favorite artists list.  Rush could be as high as the 30s, but they wouldn't be higher than that (they'd definitely be in my top 100 though).

I keep putting off doing my 3rd leg of my battle polls.. the battle of the prog song one (regardless if by 'prog' bands or not.. but both of those are to be in it.. and likely would meet due to the way I had the brackets set up.
