I do, a lot LOT LOADS tho' Sonia, you do know that that intro from Stairway to Heaven sounds a lot like a song from a band called Taurus. What's the name of the song, though?

I forgot it but look on youtube for led zeppelin stealing songs it's an to Led's credibility

Hey Andrey, the song's name is Spirit

I have little doubt up about half of Zep's material was influenced by or even taken from other artists, I hear bits from other sources all the time in their stuff that no one has even noticed.   Page and Jones were studio musicians and made a living playing other people's music for years.  

But the thing is, I hear lifts in Pink Floyd's music too (often from smaller British bands of the 60s).   Few would disagree, including me, that Floyd were one of the most original acts in rock but that doesn't mean they were immune from influence or even borrowing something.   Many artists are guilty of this.   Zeppelin's problem was aggravated by several things;  they'd gotten too big to let the obvious poaching, or in some cases simply un-crediting, go unnoticed.   Also they didn't well conceal their theft like others did--  the best way to steal music is to make the song your own enough so that no one notices.   The Beatles did it well.

Actually, the band is called Spirit and the song is called Taurus, in case that hasn't been settled.
