Hendrix's by far. It's probably the best cover version ever.

Bob Dylan's because I can't stand Hendrix.

You need educating! Seriously a lot of artists that you like owe a debt to Hendrix, however circuitious the route. You can't say you hate him. You don't like him,fair enough; but the guy was so far ahead of his time and pwns so much music even now.

The Dave Matthews Band cover is really ****ing good, the first version of it that I ever heard and I still like it more than Hendrix's and the original.

It's not that I hate him, I just can't get into his music.

Do you have any albums by him? Are you judging him solely on his most recognised tracks? His songwriting, his recording techniques were just as revolutionary as The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

I heard Electric Ladyland and didn't care for it.

The majority of the time an artist/band is judged solely on their recognizes tracks. Hell. Sometimes even a whole genera can be.
Anyways. If we're talking about which artist we prefer the song by. My personal preference is Jimi. If we're talking about which album he performs the best, I really like electric ladyland's version, but the original is just as well done.
