Thats not meant to appear an arsey question either, by the way. I am genuinely just interested to understand your reasoning.
Are these qualities something that you're claiming Page doesn't have? I mean he's certainly had impact, especially when it's considered that he was in the most powerful rock band in history, and probably influenced just as many if not more young musicians than Hendrix did. He had innovation, his use of unorthodox style's around the 'Houses of the Holy' and 'Physical Graffiti' era was nothing short of groundbreaking. I guess I'm just not seeing where he's a lacking candidate for #1. Not to mention the solid fact's that Page has played on much more material and had a longer career.
