Of those three, from a technical standpoint, most definately Eddie. All three were innovators and created sounds that hadn't been done before. Jimmy was an innovator and stylist, but not too terribly technical and really was somewhat of a follower. As a matter of fact, had it not been for Jeff, I don't believe Jimmy would have done as much as he did.

Eddie probably most precise and power. Jimi had most soul. Jimmy, to me had the widest range of variety of sound.

All three artists brought something unique and very special to the table that is the music realm. It's a very tough call... 'cause I dig all three. But mostly, I've been a Zeppelin fan since their stuff was new. Jimmy and the boys prove that they have the talent to play the widest variety of sounds and genres over just about any other band. Also, more bands have been influenced by them than any other band in history. That pretty much says something and it's food for thought.

But, like the old saying goes; to each their own.

All 3 give me goose ... Jimi and Jimmy because they are way back and had soul, blues and first metal riffs (Jimmy).
Ed, what can i say.
I still love bands with Zep influences (like The Tea Party), Jimi laid the foundation for it all, and Ed spread the
bed for all the Metal guys.

There's a old kid on the block for me as well...: Vernon Reid

DKK Fred said it before.
