Spaceman Spiff Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Because I think Jimi Hendrix is superior to the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Yes, I said it. No, there's not nearly as much music to choose from but we can open this up to live songs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's not nearly as much music to choose from but we can open this up to live songs, too. It's not even close. The world wasn't ready for Hendrix, always is for the truly great ones. 1. Castles Made of Sand 2. 1983 3. Voodoo Child 4. Little Wing 5. Live version of Killing Floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney B Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 All Along the Watchtower (Dylan: "I wish I'd written that.") Hey Joe Red House (any version you like, they're all the best blues guitar ever heard) Voodoo Chile 1983 (here's your proof that Jimi was a criminally underrated lyricist) Little Wing Because I think Jimi Hendrix is superior to the Beatles and Rolling Stones. The Beatles loved Hendrix, while Jagger hated him; makes perfect sense, really, since Hendrix was better in all ways than Mick, save voice (and that's close, though neither are great), and about a million times more authentic.

MartinC Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 1. Voodoo Chile (slight return). 2, Red House 3. Castles Made of Sand. 4. Gypsy Eyes 5. Little Wing. There is so much great live stuff out there though and many times a live version is better than the studio stuff most of which was either recorded really quickly in the early days (almost live in some cases) or was pretty chaotic towards the end.

DCsportsfan53 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ? Dylan did write it. I think he got the quote confused. Dylan did write the song but upon hearing Jimi's rendition liked that version better and took to covering Jimi's cover of his song when he performed it live. Off the top of my head Angel, Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Wind Cries Mary, Red House and All Along the Watchtower all stand out to me. The thing about Jimi is, as good as much of his studio stuff was (and it was VERY good) you don't really get the feel for or truly appreciate the guy until you listen to his live stuff. You can almost hear his eyes glaze over as he just falls into the flow of the music and rides it just from an audio CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 1) Voodoo Chile (electric lady land version) 2) Red House 3) Machine Gun 4) Power of love 5) Wind Cries Mary Band of Gypsys is probably my favorite album though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan did write the song but upon hearing Jimi's rendition liked that version better and took to covering Jimi's cover of his song when he performed it live. I think the quote he was confusing it with was about a song Joan Baez did which Dylan wrote but never recorded himself - forget which one. He heard it on the radio and said to Baez something like 'Thats a great song, I wish I had written that' to which Baez replied 'You did you moron!'
