  Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix

  Sunshine is probably a top 5 iconic riff. To not vote for a Hendrix song in 67 seems wrong though. I would've listed Love or Confusion and/or Manic Depression and probably voted for Manic Depression.

  As an 11 or 12 year old Cream was HEAVY and everyone learned the open to SOYL

  Hendrix has a category of his own.

  Sunshine of Your Love - Cream

  Hendrix was a better player than Clapton and his 2 albums in 1967 destroy Disraeli Gears.

  But Sunshine IMHO is the birth of heavy metal.

  Hendrix had too much soul/funk to his playing to invent metal.

  Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix

  Little Wing is top-shelf Jimi for me, Sunshine a close second in this poll…

  Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix

  This is an example of how not all titles are created equally and how measuring whether you win a title or not needs to be examined within the context of your time.

  "Sunshine of Your Love" is an all-timer

  "Purple Haze" is just a play better
