Thats all you got? Almost?
Many blues artists use the exact same chord progressions and all you got is almost? Does it even matter that the two don't actually sound the same at all?

It's not a matter of opinion. The chord progressions are nearly indistinguishable.

Really bad comparison.

If you showed me an entirely black Fender Stratocaster of yours, black pickguard, black everything, and I picked up my own Fender Stratocaster that was also black all over, but had one white tone knob, and I said that I felt they were completely different, would I be right? Obviously not.

An Am-G-Dm-Am chord progression and an Am-G-D-Am chord progression are not completely different.

You just don't get it. ITS NOT DIFFERENT WHEN ITS NOT THE SAME KEY AND THE SAME NOTES.
Look up that chord progression or any other, you will find many other songs that use that progression.

The intro of "Stairway To Heaven" and the intro to "Taurus" are not completely different.

Aside from those few chords, they are. It's hardly that similar at all, let alone similar enough to cry plagiarism.

And for the love of God, rock and roll being rooted in a style of music that generally followed a very standard formula does not excuse plagiarism. End of.

Sure it does. Your precious punk and indie bands steal all the time.
