You are a bad person. Are you saying that you've never heard Bold As Love?

Ignorami. Hendrix is the only classic rock figure who deserved his god status.

maybe something more like that exists and I'm unaware of it

Yep.
Wish he got around to making stuff with Miles Davis. This **** would have had the potential to be the best **** ever done.

something like Sly's "There's a Riot going On"

Thanks a lot. But yeah, respect to Hendrix for being forward thinking and talented, but I like him better when other artists cover his best songs.

Sounds like you do in fact like his songwriting then...

Except All Along The Watchtower. One of the best songs ever. And to think that it came from lame-ass Bob Dylan.

Figuring out whether I think Dylan is lame or not is something I want to get started with soon. I like some covers done by others and I don't mind his voice. So far so good, but I'm not too familiar with his albums.

Some of it, certainly. But then there's listening to Hendrix himself and the whole thing with being able to sit through his albums.

Dylan is half good, half fulfilling a record contract.
