Unfortunately for Spirit and Randy's estate, is that "Stairway To Heaven" will always be considered a brilliant timeless classic, and "Taurus" won't.

Besides, "Stairway" is much much more than just that opening arpeggiated chord progression. OK, yes, it starts with that progression, but then dynamically builds up to the high flying coda at the finale.

"Taurus" doesn't even come close to the entire composition nor performance that is "Stairway".

Just MHO ;)

John Lennon only used a line from Chuck Berry’s You Can’t Catch Me in Come Together but it was enough to permit mobster Morris Levy to sue Lennon over the infraction.
