Great '80's sound.
Very distinctive.

I've met Midnight Oil. I am not a fan, just was at a party after a performance. We knew the tour manager.

I was once, but not anymore. I guess I was naive in believing they had a cause and a message. But they sold out..

One of my favorite Mary J Blige songs -- live with Eric Clapton.
Not Gon' Cry

I was going to post this in the one hit thread, but under crusty crab bitch rules, it probably wasn't a hit in the centre of the universe..

Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' targeted for plagiarism
As Led Zeppelin promote the extravagant reissues of their first three albums for an early June release, a lawyer representing deceased Spirit guitarist Randy California is claiming the hard-rock legends stole the intro for their 1971 single "Stairway to Heaven" from Spirit's 1968 song "Taurus." Attorney Francis Alexander Molofiy wants to prevent the release of the Led Zeppelin IV reissue when the time comes, Bloomberg Businessweek reports. "The idea behind this is to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on 'Stairway to Heaven,'" Malofiy said. "It's been a long time coming."
Led Zeppelin and Spirit, who had a hit with "I Got a Line on You," played four gigs together in 1968 and 1969 (shows at which Businessweek claims Spirit played "Taurus"). Led Zeppelin also reportedly played a medley of songs that included Spirit's "Fresh-Garbage" -- a song that appeared on the same LP side as "Taurus" -- on their first U.S. tour.
In an interview with Listener magazine published the year of his death, California said he felt "Stairway to Heaven" was a "rip-off." "The guys made millions of bucks on it and never said 'Thank you,' never said, 'Can we pay you some money for it?'" he said. "It's kind of a sore point with me. Maybe someday their conscience will make them do something about it."
STORY
Fifty seconds into Taurus, I hear it.

I can hear it but I once heard a song by Handel that sounded close also. Maybe in the water music or something.

They are my favorite group in all the land & I refuse to believe anything negative about them.

Great musicians, not so "original" though. Did you click the link I put up? Note for note.

A rep for Led Zeppelin declined to comment for Businessweek's story, but Page discussed the band's history with crediting songwriters after the fact in a recent interview with The New York Times. When asked why the group waited to credit Willie Dixon for bits of lyrics and melody that made their way into "Whole Lotta Love," he acknowledged, "Within the lyrics of it, there's [Dixons's] "You Need Love," and there are similarities within the lyrics. Now I'm not pointing a finger at anybody, but I'm just saying that's what happened, and Willie Dixon got credit. Fair enough."
