Poignant, considering the copyright lawsuit begins today.

Bloody lawsuits.....
Love Led Zep. Love Spirit. It really sucks that the estate of Randy California (who died nearly 20 years ago) is taking this action.
BTW if you don't know who Spirit are, check them out. Brilliant. Randy California was the co-guitarist with Hendrix in an earlier band. Jimi gave him the "California" name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_California
It is equally as bad as the Men At Work/Kookaburra sits in the old gumtree garbage that happened a few years ago.
Edit: Definitely Men At Work not Australian Crawl.
Yeah Pabs that's why I shared this. It's a dreadful situation when somebody analyses someone's body of work and decides there fate. Sam Smith a singer Performer was just sued by Tom Petty . Tom Petty won, how I'll never know. The songs are most unlike each other.I guess Tom Petty must of been struggling financially. Never liked Tom Petty a dire Bob Dylan Wannabee. Saw him live one of the worst performances I've ever seen. Thank goodness there where other bands playing. Couldn't hold a song melody wise n mumbled most the set. He had an awful,nasal quality. Sorry if your Tom Petty fans.
I can't imagine young Sam would of looked to Tom Petty for musical inspiration or vocal gymnastics.

Funny. I just posted that exact link on my Facebook page not more than 2 minutes ago...Quote:

The real sad thing about this one is that the similarity was first noted on Spicks & Specks, then the complainant purchased the rights to Kookaburra and took it to court.Quote:

Back on topic ( sort of ) my band used to play Spirits " I've Got A Line On You " sure was a popular song back in the day, we only had one guitarist but had two drummers who both sang very very well.
Led Zeppelin had, let's say, a somewhat checkered past of "borrowing" riffs, chord progressions and lyrics. Whether it was intentional or not, who knows?

But to be fair, who here can honestly say they haven't jammed out an awesome 'new' riff or even entire song before realising, days later, that it was actually an existing track you heard on the radio the week before last? I do it more than I'd like to admit.
