    #4 Our? Jimi Hendrix
    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.

    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
