You might want to check the title of the thread.
you might wanna check the opening post... it's a thread about music. OP enjoys jams that kick his ass, as do i. let not make this thread about Jimi Hendrix, or like then just Rule 4 this thread.
because we don't need another random shout out to Jimi Hendrix here; there is enough of that implied in people's signatures.

His death made him more fame than he would ever carry now had he lived.
Just my 2cents
You don't know much about Hendrix. He seriously threatened his fellow musicians when he came on the club scene. Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton, among others felt threatened by his talent.
He was the highest paid live act ever when he played at the newport pop festival in 1969.
He headlined Woodstock.
He is on many top 10 and top 100 lists.
His music is covered by hundreds of bands, such as Aerosmith, zz top, Eric clapton, grateful dead, etc.
Many guitarists list Hendrix as an influence in their playing.
Dozens of tribute albums.
There was no luck about it. It was talent, genius and hard work.
Highest grossing act of 2013 is Taylor Swift
Most of his biggest songs were covers
Lots of people list the Velvet Underground as influences but Sterling Morrison was no virtuoso
Popularity in the music press means dick
Lots of people headlined Woodstock and if it were to be held today Miley Cyrus would.
He was a drunk and a junkie. That is incompatible with the notion of hard working.
He was pretty good. There are lots who were far better.

Your facts are incorrect, making them not facts.
Zappa bought Hendrix's guitar, at least he new talent.

Why is not playing the same song the same way twice a bad thing? There is an cd out called variations on a theme which has Hendrix playing red house in 8 different ways. I think some people find it interesting.

so done with this thread. Hendrix really felt the music, something a lot of musicians lack.
but you just can't compare musicians like that, there is no hierarchy. and for the record, anyone who can be lead guitarist, and lead vocalist at once is talented.
also jimi played left handed, yet never restrung his guitar for it.
everything i know about jimi added up just makes him worthy of a thread.

Hendrix wasn't a drunk or a junkie. He definitely worked hard. Do you really think that someone who rehearses, tours, records albums and builds a recording studio doesn't work hard?
As for the rest whatever dude, think what you want.

Pretty much sums up the majority of UtUF posts.
My opinion stands. Hendrix was nothing more than a person at his best when he died unexpectedly from taking (alleged) 18 times recommended dose of sleeping pills.
Mediocre musician who by 27 was an obvious full blown junkie, who died with a pile of vomit in his lungs. I respect the supporting opinions, just respect mine.
I almost hate to say it, but Bruce Springsteen has slightly more talent than Hendrix EVER did. Tom Waits has more talent in his left testicle than Hendrix ever did.
Bottom line IMHO, Hendrix if still alive WOULD NOT HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. His death was the greatest thing that could have happened to his career.
Hendrix name can be put with other names like Cobain, Joplin and Hendrix. They died at the peak of their fame. This made them what they are today.
Either way this thread has just been a fuckin circle jerk. 
Tl:dr Hendrix's Music = mediocre
