..possibly.

Going to court [Link]


Here's the track they are alleged to have plagiarised

[Link]

From 30 seconds in it there is a strong similarity.

Could be a coincidence - yeah, right - but the other band supported Led before the release of Stairway.

I think it would be an amazing level of audacity for the Manchester Beatles Cover Band to claim someone plagurised their work.

Notice how less prevalent Oasis become as members of the Beatles die.... I'm surprised the Gallagher brothers haven't been arrested for grave robbery

So are Oasis a ‘Beatles tribute band’ because they borrowed from Neil Innes or Led Zep?

I feel a little embarrassed. I thought Led Zeppelin stole it from Rolf Harris. Oops!

Ironically despite the clear and consistent influence on their style (actually more overt in Noel's later projects), the Beatles were the least directly plagiarised.

T-Rex and The New Seekers are the standout examples of outright theft although there are many more.

This has been known for a long time.

It's hardly a revelation to find out that a band stole a bit of a song. There has hardly been a song ever written that did not steal from or was not at least influenced by another. That's how music works. I could give many examples but I can't be bothered.
