Hendrix or Page...now there's a question. I'd say I'm a bigger fan of Hendrix than Page, although I'm not quite sure why. I think that although Page might have a more inventive riff library and tends to diversify a little more than Hendrix in his Led Zep work, Hendrix in his Experience work is just on fire creatively. While there are some Led Zep songs that the listener could sit through easily, I don't think there are many Hendrix tracks that could be treated with anything but a "Holy ****, he's good" (unless of course you dislike Hendrix's work). Hendrix seems to be full of passion and energy with every song he plays, whereas Page can get a little lax in the passion department.
That's my two cents, anyway. It might be worth nothing, but it's my opinion.
