Yes, I agree. That can be a tough issue to push, alot of people won't budge on the Hendrix thing.

Ahem

Yeah well, like I said it's my opinion and for the Hendrix-Page clash you'd need a gigantic scale.

Probably because Hendrix was a lot better.

See what I mean.

The Monkey

I won't rank them, but I will just say that I enjoy listening to Page's guitar work a whole lot more than Hendrix'.

I probably prefer Page myself but it's not a preference list.

I think when it comes to impact, influence, innovation, whatever, Hendrix has it in the bag for number 1.

2/5 are interchangable, but I think Hendrix, Page, Beck, Clapton and EVH is the definite top 5.

Im not exactly sure Hendrix should have it in the bag for #1, although I can't see him going any lower than 2nd or 3rd. Also, I think you could exchange Clapton at fifth for Chuck Berry at sixth. Making my dream list look something like this.

1. Jimmy Page
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Jeff Beck
5. Chuck Berry
6. Eric Clapton

As youcan see, my top 6 has the same guitarist's that your list does, just in a slightly different order. That's how I would have had it... personally.

Mojo

Why would you rank Page over Hendrix when the criteria includes, as said above, impact, innovation and influence?

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.
