Plant is the only boomer with an unembarrassing and often surprising solo career.
He's very cool and principled these days. But that wasn't always the case…

Jimmy Page raps on that track. Add that to his list of accomplishments.

I need to admit something: I have never heard it. Clearly, this must be remedied.

Man, I totally forgot both Toni Halliday and Kirsty MacColl sing on "Now and Zen."

I didn't get a Who vibe initially, but wow, it's a total dead ringer for "Overture."

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the instrumental is terrible. Led Zeppelin's best stuff is timeless, because they created an entirely new sound. This thing, on the other hand, screams "1969." That fucking organ, are you kidding me? If this is what's gonna be on the deluxe reissues, I'm gonna stick with my 1994 box.

I can't imagine anything in the world that would enrage Jimmy Page more than being forced to add "inspired by Pete Townshend" to a writing credit.

Maybe they just thought "Overture" was a traditional tune and added their stamp?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 18:08 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I mean "overture" wasn't that originally a Mozart joint? That shit was over 200 yrs ago so surely public domain by now, I mean really

You know what's really good? Plant's "Mighty Rearranger." I saw him on the band/tour opening (sort of) for Pearl Jam at a benefit, and he and PJ played "Fool in the Rain" for apparently the first time ever.

I don't know if I can bear to listen to Vedder's hacks stumble all over that saunter of a tune with their two left feet…

ah they sound OK, but despite his posturing otherwise, Vedder's inert singing shows he's got a clear channel soul

plant sounds great though.

Suit filed today:
...the trust for the late songwriter Randy California has sued the surviving members of Led Zeppelin and their record company for copyright infringement. The 40-page complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on May 31, is itself a tribute to Stairway‘s iconic status: Its section headings are in a typeface recognizable from Led Zeppelin album covers, and it cites as a cause for action the “Falsification of Rock N’ Roll History.”Crucially, it demands that Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page preserve all the recordings that led up to Stairway‘s 1971 release. That includes both studio takes of the song and the earliest bits of the composition, which Page has said he played into a portable recorder in 1970 at a stone house in Wales. Whether that demand could ever be enforced would depend on whether Page kept the tapes, which are the building blocks for the eight-minute song.

I'd never heard this Davy Graham piece from 1959 and long predating Spirit (and from someone Page was listening to closely)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tWeejHJxGjs
Really, if copping a chord sequence constitutes plagarism, about 75% of pop songs would be plagarized. There's just way more to "Stairway" than that chord progression. "Dazed and Confused" on the other hand......
