What's this?

I'm still on the fence with this one.


Was it influenced by Taurus? Absolutely as the two are similar. But if I'm on a jury with this one I have to say there is enough differences that it doesn't get my vote for copyright infringement.

Read a good article on Babe I'm gonna leave you. Originally Zep took the song from Baez and as her album listed it as a traditional song, ie. in public domain. they listed it the same. Wasn't until 1990 before the original author was finally given credit.
