Custard Pie - Some of the lyrics are straight from Blind Boy Fuller's "I Want Some of Your Pie". Who cares this song kicks ass and to call it plagiarism is a pretty big stretch.
Spoiler for different versions:






In My Time of Dying - Traditional blues song. Some of the lyrics are from Blind Willie Johnson's version "Jesus Make up My Dying Bed" recorded in 1927.
Spoiler for different versions:






Boogie with Stu - Pure cover of Ritchie Valen's "Ooh My Head".
Spoiler for different versions:






Nobody's Fault but Mine - Pure theft of another Blind Willie Johnson song.
Spoiler for different versions:







In conclusion, we can see they definitely did steal quite a few songs, there catalogue is over 80 songs and over 80% are purely Page/Plant.

^ Do not know why the Jam bothered to straight up copy the Guitar and Bass lines whilst adding inferior lyrics and missing out Paul's amazing solo guitar part which completely makes Taxman. Just completely redundant.

Tom Waits' Back in the Crowd borrows a lot from Beefheart's Call on Me.

Black Sabbath's song Planet Caravan


Sounds like Tim Buckley's song Dritin' once it takes off a little bit, which was released one month prior to the recording of Paranoid.

Sounds like She's Always In My Hair but with the Camille voice.

Surely Bryan Ferry just completely ripped off Canned Heat here?
Bryan Ferry - "Let's stick together"


Canned Heat "Let's work together"


He couldn't even be arsed to change the title! One word!

Both written by the same guy, but how similar they sound!
"Still got the blues for you" (Gary Moore)


"Picture of the moon" (Gary Moore)
