best Jimi Hendrix

if 6 was 9

 

My favorite "hits" are:
Hey Joe
Vodoo Chile
All Along the Watchtower

That being said, I also have heard some great "unreleased" stuff including"
Jimi Hendrix & Stephen Stills "the basement tapes" _this is nothing but Jimi and Stephen sitting back one late night in the studio jammin' their butts off!!

 

Nine To the Universe is probably my favorite post-mortum release.

The Basements Tapes are really good but the quality kind of sucks. Have you heard any of the jams he did with Larry Young, Jack Bruce, or B.B. King? They are all terrific but the sound quality is shitty, they need to re-master those.

 

my top 3

#1- Burning of the midnight lamp
#2- If 6 was 9
#3 - Bold as love

 

Redhouse
All Along the Watchtower
Foxy Lady
