Yeah i thought about putting the guitarist from nickelback or linkin park or somethin on there just for laughs but i have no clue who they are nor do i care.

page is a good contender, and he deserves second place in it like a champ, lol.

After many hours of banging my head against a wall to make a decision, I've picked Page. There are so many riffs and solos of his that i love, i just had to pick him. Hendrix is, obviously, an amazing guitarist, but for me, Page is better.

i prefer hendrix but page is amazing too
hard decision that had to be made

i think jimmy page is better than hendrix but they r both good

It hurts me to have to choose but in this case i will choose Hendrix because you have to imagine what he could have done if he were to have been alive longer

I think that even if you take the first album of led zeppelin and say that thats all that page played he would still be bettter than hendrix IMO. I think that if anything his death probly raised him a couple of notches. Just think if page died young and hendrix was still around, everyone would be like yeah jimmy page was the best guitarist of all time and he would be rolling stone magazines #1 pick, not hendrix. Anytime a musician dies, it magically seems to raise them up the ladder all the sudden. Don't get me wrong, hendrix is amazing, but page is better

to me, page is better technically, but hendrix plays with passion
and if you play with passion and feel the music, it always wins out on technical ability

therefore, hendrix gets my vote although page is probably the better of the two technically

Im saying Hendrix, just because he influnced me more and Ive heard more Hendrix stuff

I'd say Hendrix and only because of the purity. You can't really stop the CD in the middle of a Hendrix song, but you can probably skip many of Page's.
