"... Those looking to make up their own minds about the relevant issues of musical authorship here can look to Zeppelin Took My Blues Away, an 'illustrated history of copyright indiscretions,' created in trading card format, and featuring clips for the purposes of comparison and contrast. In this post, we have the card and clips documenting the resemblances between 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Taurus,' Randy California’s 1968 song. The series comes to 19 cards in total, including such perhaps excessively Zeppelin-borrowed tunes as Bert Jansch’s 'Blackwaterside', Ritchie Valens’ 'Ohh, My Head,' Willie Dixon’s 'You Need Love,' and Jake Holmes’ 'Dazed and Confused.'”
