Now, we need to get the world to ban the playing of Stairway to Heaven.

I sure miss Milli Vanilli...

Sting lifts whole pages of classic poetry, sets it to music and makes a killing!

I always preferred “Stairway to Freebird” myself.

If it’s plagiarism, then they both ripped off the 17th Century Composition titled “Sonata di Chittarra, e Violino, con il suo Basso Continuo” by Giovanni Battista Granata.

It may have not been ripped off from Spirit but their is a medeival song that sounds EXACTLY like it. Of course that’s no longer copyright protected so it’s fair use.

But yeah, their first album is entirely covers, same as the Stones.

This is consistent with the screwed up Supreme Court decisions today. Of course they copied it. It’s virtually identical. Unreal.

Why would this go to court after 40 years?

"Stairway to Heaven" is, indeed, a rock epic. This version, in my opinion, is far and away the best:

"Stairway to Heaven"

Could care less. Never liked Led Zeppelin and never like Stairway to Heaven. Sounded like a druggie song.

Spirit - Taurus

There are some similarities, but I always doubted they could make the claim hold up.

Spirit - I Got A Line On You Babe

My favorite song by Spirit.
