I'm a 'standards jazzer', but I still get the willies hearing all along the watch tower...the way it seems to writhe and breathe. It takes a breath every 2 measures after the vocals begin. The blues licks are icing on the cake - but this was sooo ground breaking when it came out. I still remember getting the 45 record for my 9th birthday. Burning of the midnight lamp was on the flipside. Another great one.

In my opinion, Little Wing, simply is beyond godlike.... But all of jimi's songs are amazing at every lvl

I love all of them, but Little Wing can't be beat. The chord progression, though not real exotic, is just wonderful and I have heard so many other really good interpretations of it by other artists. Also, it's a lot of fun to solo over ... :D

chose Red House only because its the "bluesiest" very difficult to choose the "best" Hendrix tune...they're all great!

I voted for The Wind Cries Mary but it's kinda difficult to choose just one. :|
