Adriana Hinojosa, Period 8, Stairway to Heaven is Always Relevant
SooOOoo Stairway to Heaven was released in 1971. It is currently 2016. And just NOW someone has decided to sue because the opening riff sounds just like that of Spirit's Taurus. And so now, fast-forward 45 years, the song is going on trial. Like if that is true (which I will verify soon by listening to Taurus) Zeppelin obviously did it better and it sucks that Spirit had an okay song with a great riff. Crazy. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-led-zeppelin-stairway-to-heaven-copyright-trial-20160412-story.html
