Ah--didn't realize we had that one. Thanks. I hadn't paid much attention to the emoticons here (obviously).

It's pretty well known that he isn't a great guitar player. I didn't say he couldn't play, but he's not that great in comparison to people that are great.

Personally, I don't like to measure greatness by the ability of the guitarist. I like to measure it by how good his songwriting ability is.

Though in response to this thread, I imagine they are basing this off of the ability of the guitarist themselves, otherwise I'd agree.

Well, if they are I think it still goes to Page. Both of these guys aren't very good at playing but wrote some extremely iconic riffs.

I don't disagree with this at all. I know you're not part of the point I'm making, but I just find it hard to understand why people would put Jimmy Page in their top 10, when most guitar players exceed Jimmy Page in almost all ways.

You're not an objectivist or something are you?

No, but I have ears. And while listening to Led Zeppelin is already a snoozefest, the inability to handle a guitar is thrown into the equation.
