Led Zeppelin Wins 'Stairway to Heaven' Jury Trial

Whenever a rock station does a top (X) rock songs of all time, this is always #1 and #1 by a gap that will never be breached until the Sun fades.

Good guys won this one

Oh, I was in the audience here, nosebleed seats.

 

[Harry Dresden]

good song but they overplayed the hell out of it.....

For once the jury was smart enough to figure out the plaintiffs lawyer was full of shit. I think Joe Walsh said it best, "it's a chromatic scale used in 500 songs. No one owns it".

The original version of the chord combo goes back several hundred years. I would say that makes it public domain. I am happy for the Zepp.
