Jimmy Page
Still One Of The Most Identifiable Guitarists In Rock History, Page's Les Paul And Marshall Amplifiers Left His Blues Roots In The Dust And Created Hard Rock Like No Other.

Page's Influences Ranged From English Folk To Middle-Eastern To Jazz, And He Regurgitated That Material In Fascinating Ways. But Then, Page's True Genius Lay In His Ability To Extend Beyond Mere Guitar Heroics, And To Write Poignant, Evocative Songs Like "Stairway To Heaven" , "Rock N Roll" , "Black Dog"..Just To Name A Few. All These Songs Still Stand Today And Are Still being Discovered And Appreciated By Younger Generations To Come. (Picture is the one above)
