Which Jimi Hendrix Album Are You?

The greatest debut in rock history! Almost seems like a "greatest hits" collection rather than a 1st album. Absolutely essential!

An absolutely gorgeous collection of songs. Hendrix had the unenviable task of following up one of the most brilliant debut records ever and pulls it off with ease. While there are fewer radio staples on this album, every song is wonderful in its own way.

The God of guitar Jimi Hendrix along with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell have done perfect job once again. Electric Ladyland includes two covers too but those are just fantastic. "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)" and "All Along the Watchtower" are the cover songs and both of those versions are more than perfect. "All Along the Watchtower" is actually maybe the best cover song ever recorded. This album has so much great music like "Voodoo Chile" and "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" which are very long and monumental. You can find many fantastic rockers like "Crosstown Traffic", "Long Hot Summer Night" and the hypnotic "Gypsy Eyes". "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" is one of the most well-known songs of The Jimi Hendrix Experience and it's nothing else than perfect. Actually every single second of this album is perfect from start to finish.

"Machine Gun", the most famous track on the album, may be Hendrix's absolute peak as a guitarist, the equivalent of his "Star-Spangled Banner" taken to twelve minutes of pure cinematic...well, genius. There isn't really any other way to put it, especially for a song that had only been rehearsed for mere days beforehand.

This album, released after Jimi’s death in 1971, is the first of many posthumous Hendrix albums and compilations, and by far the best

Released just two years ago, this album is a recording of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s performance at the 1968 Miami Pop Festival (so it’s not just a clever name).
