I have to admit, I never got into Hendrix. No doubting his talent but his performance seemed more about showmanship and flamboyance than music. There were some decent songs but I don't even think his most famous songs were particularly well written.
I hate it when I read lists that rank Hendrix, The Grateful Dead and certain other bands ahead of Creedence among the best of all time. I guess I just don't get it.
