Some of their most popular songs were bold rip-offs from other musicians. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and featured such tracks as 'Good Times Bad Times', 'Dazed and Confused' and 'Communication Breakdown'. 190, Led Zeppelin Profile 191, Stairwway to Heaven 192, The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair - 22/6/69 Pop Sundae 193, Wanton Song 194, Stairway to. better? Certainly better than paying Wolfe's estate the $55 million that Forbes estimates the song is worth. While Led Zeppelin is responsible for legendary rock hits such as Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Ramble On, the Immigrant Song, and many more, not all of these hits were original or written by them. Led Zeppelin top songs 18, Hey, Hey, What Can I Do 19, Living Loving Maid (Shes Just a Woman) 20, Dazed and Confused 21, Trampled Under Foot 22, Houses of. Led Zeppelin used this song in the first part of 'How Many More Times' and obviously the title where Led Zeppelin bothered to change only one word (replaced 'years' with 'times'). The Led Zeppelin channel is the band’s official YouTube home, featuring a catalog of official live performances, official music videos, Led Zeppelin History, archival footage, and Zeppelin. In other words, Zeppelin can't be guilty of stealing this particular bit because what they're really guilty of is being very, very basic when it comes to their music composition skills, which we guess is. Plus, as The Guardian reported a few years ago, music experts say both songs are using centuries-old structures and chord progressions that are being re-used to this day.

For another, the band's been embroiled in a lawsuit over "Stairway" since 2014 with the estate of Randy Wolfe, whose band Spirit released a song called "Taurus" in 1968, several years before "Stairway." If you listen to the two songs side by side the similarities are obvious, but the band vehemently denies being aware of "Taurus," and to be fair, in other cases where the band's been accused of borrowing elements of other songs, they've usually admitted it and expressed exasperation before eventually giving credit or settling a lawsuit. Possibly the funkiest Zep track: Jones (inspired by Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition') rocks a clavinet and Page a wah-wah, and they ride Bonzo's proto-disco beat.
