Led Zeppelin took this riff from "Taurus" by Spirit, stating, "Led Zeppelin (who had toured with Spirit in 1968/1969) used a strikingly similar guitar melody as the basis for their now-classic 'Stairway to Heaven,' again proving that very little in rock & roll is wholly original." [2]"Taurus" is an instrumental track on Spirit's self-titled debut album. The song was recorded was recorded in November of 1967 and the album was released in early 1968, well in advance of "Stairway to Heaven," which was released in November, 1971. The following edit from "Taurus" occurs from 0:44 to 1:12 into the track. This figure is repeated from 1:37 to 2:05.

yeah, i knew basically none of "Stairway to Heaven" was original.. Zeppelin actually got the lyrics from a poem. that wasn't the only time they took someone else's work. "Dazed and Confused" was originally done by a different band.
