I can't decide.
I kind of think that Jimi is going to win, but I am going to vote for Van Halen.
Van Halen is second-rate, and Eddie's not nearly the guitarist some poeple say he is. Their songs are so. . .messy. And Hendrix just rocks.
Van Halen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Eddie Van Halen is on the Mt. Rushmore of Guitarists along with Hendrix, Jimmy Page, etc. Listen to Eruption.
Alex Van Halen is certainly one of the best drummers out there.
Hot For Teacher blew me away. The first 30 seconds of that song is just simply kick ass drumming.
Michael Anthony was one hell of a bass. I don't know why he wasn't asked back for the reunion. That was BS in my opinion.
Of course, David Lee Roth. One of the most memorable voices in Rock. I mean, I think only Freddie Mercury could only sing higher than him (when it comes to rock vocalists).
Plus, they've had years to build on their legacy. In the late 70's and throughout most of the 80's, Van Halen was the band to beat.
While Jimi died in the 70's. Just think about what he would have done if he hadn't.
I look at this at a technical stand point as well.
Although Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarists ever, he is not that good at singing. I think he did better music when he was in his band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
By himself, I just don't think he did enough. Not to mention, Van Halen is influential in their own right.
I have to vote for Van Halen.

What about that really annoying dude who sang for Journey?
He could squeal.

Eddie Van Halen is on the Mt. Rushmore of Guitarists along with Hendrix, Jimmy Page, etc. Listen to Eruption.
Does this 'Mt. Rushmore of guitarists' really exist?
Eddie is good, but there are many better.
and Eruption. . .I know a few kids who've only played for a few months and they can play it. A lot of it sounds like speed-picking.

Van Halen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
by what scale? Who said this? Just your opinion?
Jimi Hendrix--7
Van Halen--2
Well, Jimi only needs 3 more votes.

You mean Steve Perry. Squeal? You mean break all of the ladies hearts.
Does this 'Mt. Rushmore of guitarists' really exist?
It's a metaphor for the best guitarists.
Eddie is good, but there are many better.
Not really.....the only people I can think of that are better are Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Steve Vai.
and Eruption. . .I know a few kids who've only played for a few months and they can play it. A lot of it sounds like speed-picking.
Yes, but, nobody can play it as well as Eddie can. I'll bet my life on that.
by what scale? Who said this? Just your opinion?
Seriously? They, without a doubt, are the greatest rock band from America at least. Hard Rock I should say.
It's a metaphor for the best guitarists.
*facepalm* I know that, but does this metaphorical list really exist somewhere? Or did you just make it up?

Not really.....the only people I can think of that are better are Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Steve Vai.
Clapton. . .Santana. . .Knopfler. . .maybe David Gilmour. . .and those guys you listed.
---------
You mean Steve Perry. Squeal? You mean break all of the ladies hearts.
Think so. He was the one that sang Don't Stop Believin,' right? (I don't like Journey, so I wouldn't know :/)
-----------
Yes, but, nobody can play it as well as Eddie can. I'll bet my life on that.
. . .but they can still play it.

I would say they're one of the best hard rock bands, but definitely not rock altogether.
Can everybody just stop agreeing about stuff, just cast your vote. Don't debate about who is better.
The poll still stands at...
Jimi Hendrix--7
Van Halen--2
Jimi Hendrix, he plays his guitar with a style only he can play, and it's tasteful
--Jimi Hendrix
I vote Jimi Hendrix , I don't know any song made by the other.
Does this 'Mt. Rushmore of guitarists' really exist?I believe he is referring to The Rolling Stones Top 100 Greatest Guitarist Of All Time List. It has some of the biggest names in the guitar world, Kirk Hammett, Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Angus Young, and 93 more amazing and outstanding guitarist.
My vote goes to Jimi. His guitar style amazes and impresses me. He is an idol to many great guitarist like Pete Townshend and thousands more.
I believe he is referring to The Rolling Stones Top 100 Greatest Guitarist Of All Time List. It has some of the biggest names in the guitar world, Kirk Hammett, Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Angus Young, and 93 more amazing and outstanding guitarist.
That list is a joke. Kurt Cobain the 12th Greatest Guitarist of All Time? WTF!
totally CaptainSamoa, The Edge of U2 is also high up on that list and he plays like 4 chords with a lot of effects.

Where is Rory Gallagher? Many modern day musicians, including The Edge from U2, Slash of Velvet Revolver, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest, Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard, also Joe Bonamassa, and Brian May of Queen, cite Gallagher as an inspiration in their formative musical years.
Jimi Hendrix--10
Van Halen--2
Well, Jimi has won once again. The next battle will be between Jimi Hendrix vs Coldplay.
