10 Best Spirit Songs That Don't Sound Like Zep's 'Stairway to Heaven'

The L.A. psych-rockers should be remembered for more than just one infamous soundalike

As you might have heard, Spirit are suing Led Zeppelin over "Stairway to Heaven" sounding like the intro to their cut "Taurus." The band was a major part of the Los Angeles psychedelic rock scene in the late Sixties, and should be remembered for reasons other than an alleged act of plagiarism. Click through for 10 of the band's songs that are good enough to steal.

No doubt they should be in. A most innovative and influential group

Who Were Spirit, the Band From Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway' Trial?

Beyond the now-infamous "Taurus," there was much more to this inventive L.A. psych-rock act

Spirit was a great band! 12 Dreams .. what an album. Listen to the songs about ecology. So relevant today.
Probably never make it to the HOF, but doesn't mean we can't enjoy them.
Give them a listen!

Myself and 2 other HS friends had a party pad in fall '73. I brought a Spirit album home to share.

My buds, plus numerous others took notice of their music.

2nd time that I was the cool dude, the first being my state issued fake ID, which provided us with booze several years early. TY typos!!

As one who was there, I can can honestly say there wasn't a better act at the Fillmore West in San Francisco 1969 than Spirit….
