Jimmy is definetly my favourite guitarist out there. The way he changed his styles so much throughout the Zep career. I love the folk stuff (going to california is such a beautiful song). I like their rock stuff. And I like their stuff towards the end like No Quarter and Achilles Last Stand.

I can't stand Smoke On The Water. It may not have been as over played as Stairway, but the riff was so easy, that every kid learns it and thinks they rock. At least Stairway requires some skill, even though it is fairly easy to play.

All in all, I think Jimmy kicks Blackmore's ass. I think Jimmy ventured out into the unknown world and brought it back to rock, more than any other guitarist ever did.
