I find more innovation in other artist than in Jimmy hendrix yet those artist will be never recognised as great Jimmy but they are the ones who influenced my music taste.

Are you confussing personal taste with innovation? You give Jimi "props" and say you "recognise his mark in music history" but don't see him as innovative.(Isn't that how most music critic recognise a musicians' mark in music history by saying they were innovative?) I'm not saying you must like Jimi Hendrix, but I don't see the point of questioning the idea that he was innovative on guitar based on personal taste. If you were to question Jimi Hendrix contrabutions to music based on his contemporaries and other guitarist before him, that is dfferent story because at least there's attempt to bring what his place was in music into perspective.

He likes the Pixies. I guess there is a temptation to edit history to pick up where you favorite band starts.
