I actually didn't know that "Stairway" had any backmasking, but that's
beside the point.

I know of a few bands that have used on one occasion or another.
Alot of this I got at a Christian Brainwashing Camp one summer.

There is a song called "Number Nine" (I think, by the beatles?) that
if you play the chorus backwards, it says something about Satan.

Pink Floyd, the Wall has some backward masking on it, although it 
is a joke.  During the song "Empty Spaces," there is some garbled
lyrics, that, if you play backwards says
   "Congratualtions.  You have found the secret message.  (something else 
   I can't remember)"  
It was a parody of all the backward masking stuff that went on some years
back.

The eagles, on hotel califorina, although I can't remember what songs...

Great White's first album.  it says on the jacket 
"Warning:  This record contains uncomplimentary references to occultists
 and has backwards masking."
Although I haven't verified this fact.

That all that I know of...
