I realize, but that's something that's done. Hell, half of everything he recorded were "covers"
Is it possible to cover yourself?
He didn't write them. That's what I was saying.

I saw the british invasion tour back in 1984, Page and many others were there and they played an 11 lead guitar version of stairway to heaven.

I said I would drop this, but I was lying. The British Invasion was the result of a new form of rock (admittedly influenced by blues, folk and motown) that was unique in terms of music, lyrics and song structure. I suppose early Rolling Stones were basically just a cover band, but The Beatles, The Kinks and the other British bands spearheading the whole thing developed a unique sound that fit very well with the times. Cross-cultural musical influence is fantastic and has produced some of the greatest art of all time- outright plagiarism is not the same thing as influence.
People in this thread just don't seem to understand the distinction between influence and plagiarism. Folk and blues music generally develops slowly and often times the composers are unknown, but anyone with some semblance of morality at least has the decency to credit the song as "traditional" rather than under their own name.
Beethoven had influences, Carolan had influences, The Beatles had influences, and no one would deny this. The issue is about unqualified theft of another artist's material being carried out by people who don't even have the basic decency to give credit or finance to the people who wrote the songs that made them famous. Even if you massively improve a song, credit should be given to its originator.
"Don't Think Twice It's All Right" is a far better song than "Who's going to buy you ribbon when I'm gone?", but the lack of acknowledgement of the source is just bullshit.
