GoCart, even if Zeppelin stole from spirit, which they didn't, the probably stole it from classical composers which the judge deemed. But even if they did, spirit didn't even come close to writing stairway to heaven...and they wrote it?
Stairway to heaven is an epic journey that will continue to stop people in their tracks.
Spirit?
But yeah, I did clarify that any of us should be so fortunate to have been involved in stairway to heaven. Once in a generation song.
Sorry Floyd!
Personally, I think that LZ did steal the opening phrase from Spirit. With an alteration. The alteration apparently makes it not legally a lift but I do not think that Stairway would exist if Page never heard Spirit prior to writing it. I read that they toured with them prior to Stairway. The music sounds too close to be coincidental. It's on youtube as a mash-up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-81X3T6CC2UIt was adjudicated and found by one jury and or judge not to be stolen. Does not mean another one would find the same way. And does not mean that it was not stolen. In spite of the fact that I think that Page lifted it and in spite of an undying rumor that Page held an underage girl in his house as a willing hostage to avoid prosecution for having sex with her...I love Stairway. I don't think that I would want to spend any time around the members of LZ but love that song anyway. I apologize for running completely off with your thread Floyd. FWIW...I think that Gocart is wrong. Your song is just as good as Stairway.
