Hendix/Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jimmy Page. I just couldn't pick just ONE,cause in my opinion,these 3 ARE legendary!

But you have a great list,which made it very difficult for me to choose.I almost picked Carlos Santana,but I don't like it,when he plays with his back to the audience.That really bugs me.Especially if you pay money to see him in concert, & all you see is his back.

Since I can only pick one, I'll choose Stevie Ray Vaughn. Followed by Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, B.B.King, Eddie Van Halen, Slash and Jimi Hendrix (but not necessarily in that order).

yeah - the song wasn't quoted as the finest example. Just something that many Zep fans have heard of. I prefer the piano and drum in that song.

again not the finest example of guitar work but I get shivers over 'When the Levy Breaks'. But yeah you're right dazed and confused has it.

levy breakin is great...heyzeus and i have an ongoing argument over some of the lyrics in that song..."sat on the levy and moaned" or
this one is mine "sat on the levy and roamed"
i think both are applicable.

oh yeah

I personally believe the song is a euphamism for female ejaculation and so therefore I believe it to me 'moaned'. What do you think?

(reply to Dino) posted 13-Feb-2002 1:03pm

mostly i just say 'roamed' just to argue with heyzeus, but i like the idea of 'sitting' somewhere and 'roaming' in your head.

Jimmy Page

(reply to Dino) posted 16-Feb-2002 7:20am

There are a lot of good ones but Jimmy Page is the man.

(reply to heyzeus1) posted 16-Feb-2002 7:21am

Hendrix was my second choice too. I wish he could have stayed around longer. Jimmy Page rules.

(reply to ASexyBabesToy) posted 16-Feb-2002 9:04am

yeah. i am changing my mind to hendrix for first place, after hearing 'born under a bad sign' while driving to work yesterday morning. nobody can beat that.

(reply to heyzeus1) posted 16-Feb-2002 12:33pm

If Hendrix was alive longer it would be a very hard choice for me. They are both the best ever but I still lean towards Jimmy Page. I may be biased because I believe Led Zeppelin is the best band ever. Just think about what Hendrix could have done. It's a shame his life ended so early.

then again, he could have crapped out like so many others. he may have ended up like don henley or something.

I like a lot of these, but none of them stands out for me.
