    If Led Zeppelin actually wrote the music to Stairway to Heaven, I would agree with you, unfortunately, they only wrote the words.

            A group called Spirit, the song was called Taurus. It's an instrumental that came out in 1967, 4 years before the Led Zepplin release of IV, which contained Stairway to Heaven. Spirit toured with Zeppelin in the late 60's in England. It's just the intro that is from Taurus, the rest of the music is "Zeppelin". Some blues bands have claimed the rest of the song as well.

                Ya, that makes that song worse...

                I dont understand how who wrote a song can determine how good or bad it is.

                  Then don't you think you're being slightly misleading by saying "if [they] actually wrote the music to Stairway to Heaven, I would agree with you, unfortunately, they only wrote the words"? The slight piece of Stairway that sounds like "Taurus" is hardly enough to say that the entire song is a rip-off. We're not even talking about a minute of lifted material here, of part of a song that is over eight minutes long.

                        Thanks! It was more of a joke than anything else, but lately, I checked out Journeys greatest hits album after reading a Bill Simmons ESPN article (the one with the greatest youtube clips). They've got some good stuff. Steve's voice is amazing.

                          I will tell you a Journey song that could be included, I think the Title is "Separate ways" a truly great song.

                              Hmm I'd have to go with "yesterday". I mean it's the most covered pop song in history for a reason right?
