As big of fan as I am of Srv I dont think I could place his vocals above Jimi. Of course Stevie knew his singing wasnt the greatest in the world, and has admitted he had to practice at it to just get to average.(even though I woudnt consider it just average) Which was part of the reason for tuning a 1/2 step down a lot if not all of the time. His voice does'nt appeal to everyone, but I enjoy it very much so myself. I guess it could be kind of an aquired taste for some, but it doesnt even strike me as awkward or blan when I listen to him. Equal to Jimi's vocals no..I dont think I would go that far. Jimi had good range that I dont think Srv was capable of matching. He also tuned down 1/2 a step in some of his stuff as well, but there are some pieces of music that only Jimi's vocals were capable of mastering imo. At the same time Jimi could add a soft melodic touch to some of his songs as well like in,"the wind cries mary" and "little wing". Just so versatile in so many different ways as a musician in many different aspects not just vocally. Both were great artists but the upper hand definatley goes to Jimi imo.
