Tony Iommi or Jimmy Page?

I chose Iommi, simply because he, in a manner of speaking, came up with his very own sound and developed his guitar playing along that path. Now Page is a fine guitarist, but he's also a well known thief. I don't mean to start a war, here, but there are numerous examples of Page's, uuhhh, "Borrowing" of riffs and indeed guitar tunings and even entire songs and and claiming them as his own. Not only the Blues material (over which Zeppelin was sued numerous times in court---and LOST or settled out of court), but also some the folkier material as well.
