I voted Jimmy Page, but more for his performance on the BBC Sessions CD, which is mind numbingly superb. I think Hendrix gets too much attention and often gets votes just because thats what people think they should say.

Hendrix is amazing, but Jimmy Page was so good people thought he made a deal with the devil to get his talent.

The best right now? The lead guitarist from Slayer. I just started getting into them and the sheer speed and technical prowess of his work will make you're jaw drop. Artistically he's not that great, but for technical ability he is hands down the best.

That there be a man by the name of Kerry King.

I've listened really closely to a few LZ songs lately, and Page seemed to be the better guitarist and Hendrix more the guitar freak

The bow solo on "Dazed and Confused" is even better, IMO.
