At least, that’s what some people maintain.  Including me.

If you’ve got a couple hours to kill you can read that article or I’ll just draw your attention to Exhibit A below.

I submit, for your listening pleasure, two songs…

The first is “Since I’ve Been Loving You”, a song that appears on Led Zeppelin III and was released in October 1970.

This one is definitely Page/Plant tag team thievery — Plant clearly borrowed big chunks of lyrics word-for-word and even though the song is a pretty standard blues jam I’d say the slinky feel of it combined with the stolen lyrics makes Page just as guilty.  Shame on you guys.

Word on the street is that Led Zeppelin reached an out-of-court settlement in 2005 on this one, paying Moby Grape’s Bob Mosley an undisclosed amount of money… but still no writing or arrangement credit on the song.

This is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard.

I think everybody knows about that urban legend where the hugely obese person has an operation to remove a cyst and along with the normal cyst innards they also find hair, teeth, a wristwatch and a couple of Star Wars figures still in their original packaging.  Well this is even weirder.

A baby was in Coloardo had an operation when it was only 3 days old to remove a tumour from its brain.  Inside the tumour doctors found a fully formed foot, part of another foot, a hand and a thigh.  I shit you not.

They also found a Michael Buble album and 2 tickets to the SuperBowl.

YES IT DOES.
Now go buy the new Bellrays album.
