Post by: Himu on December 16, 2008, 01:44:09 PM

Let's go. There's only one answer.

My currently most listened to album now.

So many classic songs and just great album period. I'm bumping Crosstown Traffic now.

Crosstown Traffic

Along The Watchtower

Moon, Turn The Tides...Gently Gently Away

Burning Of The Midnight Lamp

Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Then there's other classic songs I can't find youtubes of because a bunch of distinguished effete fellows have covers of the songs but not the REAL song:

Have You Ever Been
Little Miss Strange
Long Hot Summer
Rainy Day, Dream Away
Still Raining, Still Dreaming
Voodoo Chile

1. Are you Experienced
2. Electric Ladyland.

Although, "All Along the Watchtower" is probably my #1 fav Hendrix tune.

Not an Experience album, but my favorite Hendrix is Band of Gypsys.

You changed the title on me.  My favorite song is Machine Gun, followed by 1983, Bold as Love, and I Don't Live Today.

Is Jimi another "group" EB agrees on?

I think his All Along The Watchtower is infinitely better than Dylan's. I always use it and see it used when arguing that it's not a bad idea to cover songs by other artists.

The opening of Crosstown Traffic is my favorite.

Let's not get into the Dylan argument!

Machine Gun is amazing. Does a studio version exist?

My favorite Experience-era Jimi song is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nePm-L0aa-E

John Mayer perfectly described the song when he said it's like being visited by a long dead relative for a 2 and a half minutes. So beautiful yet so short it's almost painful

His first and third albums always get praise but Axis is amazing too. More experimental than the first one, and I like it more actually. If 6 Was 9, Castles in the Sky, the title track, Ain't No Telling...basically everything

There's a no-good studio version of it on one of the many cash-in compilations.  Don't bother; it was incomplete and heavily edited posthumously, apparently.

I am also a big fan of Axis: Bold As Love.  Of the Experience albums, it's the one I've listened to the most.
