For what he did for guitar playing maybe he should.
Someone told me that the song "1983" was his proggiest moment.

 you haven't heard it? ....  if you haven't... you really need to find a copy of Electric Ladyland... that is an album that should be in everyone's collection.   oh yeah... I always thought it was his prog moment in the sunshine...  great track... essential album...


edit... and a big NO from Micky on the poll question...

There are some proggish moments on Electric Ladyland, but I don't think he should be included in the archives. Great musician and songwriter, one of my favourites, but he hasn't had a particularily big influence on Prog to be classified as Proto-Prog. He hasn't made enough Prog or proggish material to be included as Prog Related either. Sorry. Psychedelia isn't always Prog or Proto-Prog.

Not all good music is prog music. Wink

I'm a pretty big fan of Jimi Hendrix. There is no doubt that he expanded the possibilities of rock music and was a major player in pushing the prog movement. Also, considering that the Soft Machine and The Nice were closely affiliated with the lad also pushes his prog credibility. And don't forget 'Band of Gypsies', considered an early example of fusion music.

Fusion of Blues and Funk maybe, but not of Jazz and Rock, like most Fusion is. Great live album though!

Joe Satriani once said Electric Ladyland is his favourite Hendrix album (and he is a Hendrix fanatic!)
I´ve heard 1983 and really like it, I think I will get this album.

As long as you (or anyone else) don't call it an epic because of it's twelve (on the Live at Isle of Wight album, 22) minutes! Wonderful song though, I agree that it deserves a clappie! Clap

Iron Butterfly didn't have great influence, though.

Hasn't had a big influence on prog? I can't think of a musician who has had more influence on practically all living guitarists since!

But how big of an influence has he been on the development of the Progressive Rock style? Not enough to be included, I'm afraid.

couldn't agree more....  there isn't a guitarist alive that he hasn't influenced...  but that still doesn't make him prog... why can't people get that through their heads hahhah Wink

Indeed, after adding progressive pop like The Beatles this site should add the late guitar genius Jimi Hendrix. His influence on the progrock guitarists is more substantial than the influence by The Beatles on progrock bands (the main reason for Chief M@X to add The Beatles to this site) so a big hand for Jimi on Prog Archives, Electric Ladyland rules Clap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The genre that got the most influnce from Hendrix was prog, imo.

Exactly where do you hear traces of Hendrix's music in prog, except for in the technique and style of guitarists? I have listened to quite many prog records, and so far I haven't detected any Hendrix influence in the compositional structures or lyrics or whatever.
