riffraff Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Good ? riff, you've got me there(Stairway, of course?) I know off Zep lV another tune was tribute to the (then) gorgeous Joni Mitchell. Page & Plant both really dug Joni, I've read.Also, which UK artist suggested they never wrote ballads, which prompted the beautiful 'Rain Song'?I'll add to the question in the form of a hint. the song stairway to heaven (you're correct) has been involved in some controversy. Some people consider inspiration to be more akin to borrowing at the very least from this band and song? Link to comment
