Jimmy Page, but the three of them are some of my favourite guitar players.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Tony Iommi wins for me, though the 3 are VERY close!

Ritchie.

The man who seriously gave white boots a face.
And lovely moustache.

Oh, and a great guitarist.

Jimmy Page was my favorite guitarist for most of my life, and he's still in my top 10. Wrote some legendary stuff.

When my friend first showed me Led Zeppelin, being a middle-school-age boy who listened to mostly punk rock, just picking up the guitar, I was mesmerized at Page's work (along with the rest of the band of course). I looked to Zeppelin for inspiration for quite a while (especially when I discovered Achilles Last Stand). Even today I find that Page's work and Zeppelin's music in general was/is great. It's always a pleasure to whip out my Zeppelin vinyls.

I flatly refuse to choose between three of my all-time faves. Great list though and at least Steve Howe won't get a look-in this timeEvil Smile

Pagey!!!
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

hmm, either page or blackmore
 
iommi's riffs are good but his solos have nothing on the other two
 
blackmore is probably better than page but he did do a lot of crap after he left deep purple

I'd go for Iommi riff-wise myself. Page's breaks are generally better tho IMO. The three of them really are too close for me to callConfused

Tommy Bolin....ermm, he's not here, then....

Blackmore had a great balance on delivering great solos and riffs
Page had better solos IMO
Iommi had better riffs

Too tough, this time I'll go for Iommi.

Page for me. I've seen all three at some point in my life. I saw Blackmore and Iommi at CalJam. Blackmore was better then. Saw Page on Zep's "Houses" tour, Page blew them away.

Ritchie Blackmore easy. Don't really listen to Led Zeppelin, and I like Deep Purple and Rainbow a lot more than I do Black Sabbath.
