      Spirit was one of the first and great "Prog/Psych Rock" bands that still hasn't been given the attention/fame that they rightfully deserve. This for one thing is a fantastic album. Highly recommended for fans of the genre

        ( Sorry my poor english :) )
        Spirit was a great surprise for me, my curiosity rose from that "stairway to heaven" story.
        I think that no credits or royalties must be given..it is a too small piece of the song and stairway to heaven is much more than a few notes.
        But i discovered that Spirit is really much much more than "the band that Jimmi Page stole the idea for stairway to heaven initial guitar riff", it is a very rich and enjoyable musical experience and i think that Page should at least assume such inspiration, the author of Taurus deserve it too much. ( and Spirit made a lot of great songs/albuns )
