    Jimi is the Michael Jordan of the electric guitar. Nuff said.

    You can't seed Hendrix ahead of the three acts in front if him guys. Three amazing studio albums, a half baked release by Band of Gypsies,and a bunch of money grab compilations released after his death simply can't match the overall production of the top three...like them or not.

    This is like a military battle between the UK and Norway. Norway's a great place... but...

    People forget that if Wilson Pickett and Jimi had teamed up it would have been the greatest band of all tim.

    Having said what I said above...my phone, old cd case, and media files on my desktop are dominated by four acts...Beatles, Jimi, Dylan, and Neil Young. The stones aren't far behind. I honestly don't know how I'll vote when/if any of these are matched up. I'll probably abstain.

    If you can't see Jimi's seeding is a fucking joke I can't help you.

    The competition if stiff here. Everyone ahead of him was more influential overall. Now if Jimi had MORE TIME, then who knows how it would have played out.
    Sorry, this is objectively wrong. Nothing from that era has influenced music more than how Jimi transformed the way the electric guitar was played. You could argue Jimi is a 1 seed if you combined all eras if you want to talk about sheer influence. There isn't a single musician on any list that has been imitated more than Jimi Hendrix.
    Fucking this. Jimi was so far ahead of his time and changed the role of the guitar in rock music. His use of feedback was unreal. The way he would improvise within the chords by playing individual notes and still keep the tempo was fucking amazing. Little Wing is only 2 and a half min, but it captures his unmatched brilliance

    Maybe I'll be tequilla tough and take off the gloves so to speak. That might gain me the will and toughness to vote for one of my favorites over another.

    Disagree on everything Velvet Underground. No talent hacks championed by drug induced music writers

    You're kidding... they have tons of great songs.

    If you don't like these you need to do more drugs.
    I've done my fair share but haven't killed enough brain cells apparently to even pretend to think this is good music

    Jimi is a badass. Not a great singer but he didn't needs to be. His guitar did all the singing.

    That's about as emo-gay as I can get when writing about someone.

    I'm waiting for the man, 26 dollars in my hand...oh wait the man is Hendrix




    this is a fucking terrible seed. VU should be much higher and not go against Hendrix in Round 1. They were way too influential for this. Arguably, American punk rock and alternative music came from the Velvets, the Goo Goo New York Dolls, and the Ramones.

    fuck
