Actually the Stones have stolen ton's of stuff over the years. The line " she covered me in roses" is from an old english poem and alot of their riffs and melodies are awfully close to other peoples. That's just music though and like Chuck Berry said there is nothing new under the sun.

Didn't Chuck steal that line?

That line is as at least as old as the Bible...literally - from the Old Testament ( Ecclesiastes )

And they stole it from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. There really is nothing new under the sun.
I hear that descending thing in so many songs. One that pops into my mind right now is 'Strangers in the Night"Quote

"Jimmy Page has also claimed that the descending lines of the opening of the song
were something he heard in Chim Chim Cher-ee from the soundtrack of Mary Poppins".
I LOVE that song - my Dad used to sing it to me when I was three years old!!!

Thanks Hairball! I hear you're quite the Zep fan and are here in Los Angeles.

Interesting that it seems "The Estates of...." are more likely to litigate than living musicians.

The band covered Baez's version; both guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant were fans of Baez. Baez's album had originally indicated no writing credit, and Led Zeppelin credited the song as "Trad. arr. Page". In the 1980s Bredon was made aware of Led Zeppelin's version of the song and since 1990 the Led Zeppelin version has been credited to Anne Bredon/Jimmy Page & Robert Plant: Bredon received a substantial back-payment of royalties.[7][10] Led Zeppelin's version is in A minor.

the intro to "rock n roll" is clearly inspired by the intro to a very famous little Richard tune

some of that is missing things and not accurate. I've never heard dear mr fantasy in that zeppelin tune even after just reading that I listened and still don't hear it.
-boogie with stu. as far as I know the band always credited valens mother and it was to make sure she got money because the band heard she never got any money from her sons music so no legal action was taken.
-babe, I'm gonna leave you. this is actually worse. at first the song was credited to just jimmy page. when the lawsuit was settled and the money would have to be split in 1/2 between page and bredon the credit was changed to page/plant/bredon so that she only got 1/3 of the money instead of 1/2

Just listened to that Spirit song. A related chord pattern does not equate with a ripoff in my opinion. Zep did steal a lot of other stuff though.
