None, unless I'm shooting heroine he wasn't really very talented....unless playing a guitar backwards is considered a skill.
I don't remember any specific album or "song" titles because the only things a bit interesting were the unmusical electronic/audio gimmicks and oddball effects. The only interesting thing in memory was when he plucked strings with his teeth.
Musically, none of his stuff carries much weight or importance. A passing fadster.
Lol…. I was waiting for this post 😂
Yep. Knew it was coming. 😂

Oh the pearl clutching will start by the Fire conservatives: their love for the only black guitarist that lit his instrument on fire and played it with his teeth is undying, his record sales sucked while he was alive...and he considered Billy Gibbons and Duane Allman to be better players, and was completely blown away with Jeff Beck's style and skills. He had serious drug issues, and is said to have been bisexual according to his band mates.
But hey, it must be George Floyd day here...start the reparations lol
PS: Waiting to hear Chet Atkins being the best string picker.
Live at the Fillmore East. An extended version of Band of Gypsies. Music was moving to a heavier less psychedelic sound. Favorite version of Hear my train a comin.

Your mancrush trolling of my every post, is becoming a bit disconcerting at this point.....please take 2 steps backwards. Sitting on Lake Erie with the family awaiting the eclipse, try living life without all the hate....find Jesus bro.
AKCHOPPER: I'll be danged. I walked through that memorial structure once and saw all kinds of little trinkets there - nowadays I just drive by slowly and look at all the young folks (who were not even alive when Jimi was!) that visit there and take pictures and rest there a while. Music can take a funny hold on some people! By the way I heard that smoking pot would stunt your growth - are you a smaller person? Just funnin ya. Enjoy Jimi's music if thats your bag. Still sad that Jimi joined the "27 Club"! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I love it when the boomers can't help themselves. They can't resist the opportunity to show their a$$ when it presents itself.
Ha Ha Ha, read your own post then recall that boomers were Jimi's audience and embraced his music and made it part of the culture of an era. No flowers in my hair but I did have a bottle of LSA in my helmet band.

I don't really have one. I recognize his talent and innovation, and I "like" his music, however, I was in college in the 80s and they played Hendrix a bit beyond the saturation point on college radio in those days. I haven't recovered from that auditory overdose I guess. I'm a little bit the same with Led Zeppelin. Unless I'm feeling deeply nostalgic at the moment, often if I hear either one, I tend to change stations. I'm kinda getting the same way with Metallica. Which is .. blasphemy.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

If you already knew the actualities about his stuff, why did you have to wait?

More clueless.
Kindly provide your most erudite explanation for that exclamation of "clueless", preferably emphasizing your musical knowledge and reasoning.
People who listen to music - any kind of music - will develop their own likes or dislikes mostly according to their own personal tastes. That is normality, and personal reasoning may range from simply "I just like it (or don't)" all the way over to deep and maybe sophisticated analysis based on some knowledge and skills. Consequently, the personal likes/dislikes can differ widely - as with food, hobbies, entertainment, friends, etc.. Such differences are revealed in this thread.
Some folks here will take the opportunity to disparage, deride and even attack the tastes and comments of another person simply because of differences in their "likes" or "dislikes", but seem to avoid the related questions about their reasoning.
Such derogatory comments/behaviors have little or nothing to do with the qualities of the music itself. But, they seem to show a lot with regard to personal insecurities and maybe smallness of character.
