sometimes i wonder why Jimi Hendrix is considered the (one of the) greatest guitar player of all time.

Nice. These guys are now my second favorite Irish band pushing U2 to 12th.

I would guess that he's not anymore, but back in the day no one was really making the sounds he was making and for that time he was a really big deal. My fave is Castles Made of Sand.

In '67 no one was creating the sound he was. Just my opinion;)

This, basically. There were those coming close (Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, for example, or early Carlos Santana), but nobody else was the whole package. Ten years later, practically every other garage band lead guitarist could pull Jimi's licks like they were nothing, and by that time there were guitarists going way beyond him, Terry Kath of the original Chicago could outplay Jimi in damn near every way. You got guys these days playing in forgotten bar bands who can tear up Stevie Ray Vaughn's playing on a bad night.

Go on YouTube and you can find 12 year old kids playing Led Zeppelin better than Jimmy Page ever could. But you get remembered for creating your own sound.

Great song.

Jimmy played the guitar upside down so it made different sounds than everyone else. Or something like that. Not an instrument player so I don't know how true this is.

I would say that the reason no one was making the sounds at the time was because electric guitars were brand new instruments. It was possible for people to make sounds come from an electric guitar that could not come from acoustic guitars. I'm certainly not saying that Hendrix wasn't unique and original.

But if you google "Greatest Guitarist of all Time" you generally get the same type of list and Hendrix is always in the top few names.

Her music wasn't my cup of tea but there is no denying she was very talented. Amy Winehouse died 10 years ago today. R.I.P.

Amy was amazing, so troubled and so misunderstood. A genius artist we lost too soon.

Her and Jimi are both part of the 27 Club.

Pretty good. I think Delores would have liked that

[CentralTexasCrude]

FUCKING LOVE THE CARS.

Yes, Ma'am. It always seems most bands can be considered to sound like some other band. The Cars didn't sound like anybody then or since. Totally unique sound

A different take on Audioslave's "Gasoline"...
