Was Stairway to Heaven influenced by The Hobbit or LOTR?

There is no question about that. All you have to do is listen to the lyrics. There are Tolkien references in several Led Zeppelin songs.

- "Stairway to Heaven" (possibly by coincidence)
- "Ramble On" (implied)
- "The Battle of Evermore" (Nazgul reference)
- "Misty Mountain Hop" (coincidence?)
- "Over the Hills and Far Away" (inference)
Here's a more detailed run-down at: TheOneRing.com.
And another summary at Tolkien Gateway.

I meant between The Hobbit and LOTR, which of the two is The Hobbit about? And another summary at Tolkien Gateway. |

If "Stairway to Heaven" was inspired by Tolkien, it would definitely have been The Lord of the Rings:
"There's a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for leaving".
However, this is allegedly only a coincidence.
