Plagiarism Or Not?

Here is a classic track by the band Spirit from 1968 called Taurus -

Sounds a bit familiar does it? Well here is Led Zeppelin and their famous Stairway To Heaven from a few years later. . What do you think?

It is just so happens that i love both the tracks and Spirit were a good  psychedelic rock band of the sixties with occasional tinges of classical and jazz flavours thrown into the mix.
Reminds me of the George Harrison / Chiffons fiasco of My Sweet Lord / He's So Fine.

I heard about this on the radio. Apparently this is a common guitar progression learnt by many guitar students. Who can tell who actually wrote it first. But I love the sound of the guitar, no matter which song.
