OT: Zeppelin stole Stairway to Heaven!

I knew it!

geigh band

[Drama Queen]

Here's one: Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve

was a rip off of The Andrew Oldham Orchestra's version of the Rolling Stones song- The Last Time.

The Rolling Stones get credit and royalties for a rip off of an orchestra version that sounds nothing like the Rolling Stones version. I understand the legalities of why the Stones won, and its clearly a rip off of the Andrew Oldham Orchestra version, but I still think the Stones should have backed off a bit. You know damn well the Stones did their share of rip offs, but being such a corporate power, they can muscle they're way through these things.

it ain't even the thieving...

I guarantee that Willie Dixon borrowed many of those riffs and lyrics too.

as much as the lies. give credit where it's due...

All blues artists borrowed/stole from each other. Willie is no exception.
