I think Jimmy Page is the worst guitarist out there. He makes me want to scream. 24 hour bends aren't good. Apart from him I can tolerate most people.
Page is the most influential guitarist in electric history, there is no question on that. I don't know the last time I listened to him, but I would say I admire him for what he contributed.
You are making the mistake that many make, often historians. Taking a person out of their context and judging them as if you got into a time machine went back to a stage in 1973 with Jimmy playing stairway to heaven, and pushed him in, and then came back to 2008 and dumped him in front of Batio or Gilbert, and said "see, I told you he sucks".
I think Einstein was a dummy too. He put that silly constant in General Relativity because he did not know the universe was expanding. What a dolt he was!

yay finally someone who agrees
ditto
edit: or heck, if you brought him back and dumped him in front of Muris or, really and teacher we have here would blow away anyone from that epoch. it is all relative, that I how I judge things. I look at Page in his context, and in that context, he is awfully good.
