*** Credit given to others on original recordings

Dazed and Confused: Descending riff and lyrical cadence lifted.
Black Mountain Side: Should have been listed as Traditional
Whole Lotta Love: Some lyrics lifted.
Lemon Song: Some lyrics lifted
Bring it on Home: Intro and Outro lyrics lifted. Middle section completely original
Rock and Roll: Very loosely based on Good Golly Miss Molly
Boogie with Stu: Loosely based on Ooh my Head
Stairway to Heaven: 5 note descending intro riff lifted
Nobody’s Fault But Mine: Should have been listed as Traditional

2 – number of songs that should have been listed as Traditional
2 – number of songs where riffs were lifted
3 – number of songs where lyrics were lifted
2 – number of songs loosely based on other songs
Black Mountain Side - I personally think it was heavily borrowed from Bert Jansch. Jansch said that Page "ripped me off, didn't he? Or let's just say he learned from me."

Boogie with Stu - It was an homage to Ritchie Valens, not stolen from him. They heard his mother didn't get any royalties so they listed his mother on the credits to that tract, but they got sued anyway.
