Alot of people think Stairway to heaven was based off the tatarus riff - ishmaelblues — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.29.97.168 (talk) 01:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


Syd Barrett and Jim Morrison[edit]

The way Barrett and Morrison are referenced in the first paragraph makes it sound as though they contributed to the album, though, as far as I can tell, they had nothing to do with this album or the band in any way. They should either be removed or the section should be modified to make it clear that, while their styles may have had an influence on the album, that they did not actually directly contribute to it. 173.11.198.81 (talk) 03:59, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Spirit3.JPG[edit]

Nuvola apps important.svg

Image:Spirit3.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

English?[edit]

Could someone familiar with the subject translate this articl from pompous and illiterate gibberish into sane English? If you still haven't recovered from your 1968 overdose of LSD, you shouldn't be writing Wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 18:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Article quality[edit]

Even though this probably is a quite obscure article, I think it deserves some improvements. I don't know the band well enough to do it, but I hope someone else will. The introduction sounds like an excerpt from a doctorate thesis or sum'thin'. The Miscellanea section should get reworked into some appropriate sections. Also, if there are no references, it can hardly claim its own section, can it? 87.58.113.19 (talk) 16:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

All these years later, the intro now sounds like an advert. -sche (talk) 02:55, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
And now six years later, it's still nonsense. The claim "commercially successful, and garnered significant underground FM airtime" is dubious. The album didn't even ship Gold in the US. The best selling album for Spirit was Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus, and even then three of the members left, unhappy with the lack of commercial success. The hype is unbelievable.
