I really feel that there was a lot more to them than just 2-3 hit singles, even considering how patchy their later output became. I think they have at least one exceptional track on every album.

Yoooooooooo fuck buddy, they got so many tight jams, I could do without ever hearing their big hit ever again, but fuck the first three LPs are SO TIGHT, like absolutely flawless rock records IMHO, they dip a little for the next three albums, then bounce back with their great, great live album "Some Enchanted Evening" (man, that version of R U Ready 2 Rock" is sooooooo wild!"), Mirrors is kind of a snoozer, but Cultosaurus Erectus and Fire or Unknown Origin are hot bangin' good times. After that it's like, okay, not my thing but they have AMAZING hot jams.

Jimi Hendrix was revolutionary and made mind-searing music. His technique, creativity, and showmanship were all unparalleled. I've listened to a lot of music from the '60s, and I have never heard anything that came out prior to 1967 that sounded like the songs on Are You Experienced. He took rock music into outer space and beyond, and the world of rock music has never been the same. A lot of people learned to play guitar because they were inspired by him. I still feel blown away almost every time I listen to his music; not by every song, and not by most of the vault scrapings, but he was certainly one of the greatest rock musicians ever.

To me what he really did was take blues, soul and rock and slam them all together into something interesting.. still, most of the voicings he used in solos/licks are Albert King [most blues rock plays up to SRV rely super heavy on Albert King's stuff] and John Lee Hooker lexicon

I don't know if I've ever heard Imaginos so I will check out. Maybe I'll give Mirrors another jam too while I'm at it.
