If you’re wondering why the Led Zeppelin trial is receiving so much coverage, you obviously don’t understand just how big the band was during the 70s and 80s.

They really were the biggest rock ‘n roll band in the world, and it didn’t hurt that they penned the iconic ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Except that’s kinda what is currently on the line, as the band Spirit accuses them of having lifted the riff from their song ‘Taurus’ (HERE).

So what happens if the court finds in favour of Taurus then? Rolling Stone Magazine put this little summation together:

So would this be a victory for the little guy, or a worrying trend setter that sees musicians second guessing themselves during the creative process?

Only time will tell, but for now the song remains the same.
