With Led Zeppelin’s recent legal issue about ‘Stairway To Heaven’ being similar to Taurus’ ‘Spirit,’ the main question was whether or not there was an “extrinsic similarity” between the 2 songs. Yes, they have some similarities, but so does a lot of music. Case in point, listen to this guys rant on Pachelbel’s Canon, a classical music piece that most every kid who’s ever been in an orchestra has played at one point (myself included).
And yes, I played the cello growing up, so I know exactly what he’s talking about for how boring that song is to play…
