As much as I love Hendrix, I have to say no. I'd say he influenced the Proto prog bands more than the prog bands. So in a roundabout way yes? I think I'm just trying to stand up for him. So no. I guess...

Maiden is very progressive, they're guitar playing is very noodly, they show great amounts of technical talent and they're lyrics are much more sophisticated than the average metal bands. Besides, everyone in Maiden was actually an avid prog listener, except Dickonson.
Jimi, can only boast guitar playng which I dont consider very good. IMO

This all started a while back with the inclusion of Queen, ( to this day, I cannot understand what they are doing in the Progarchives.) The floodgate had been opened and it was then noted that the progarchives would soon have to change it's name to the Rockarchives.It was that mistake that has led to this confusion. Does Hendrix belong? Well, if The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane etc. belong then so does Jimi!

the thing is, acid is part of psychedelia
and psychedelic rock is in progarchives, i guess i don't know what prog is any more, and from now on i probably won't care
and like i said, procol harum sounds more like pure blues to me than anything else |
the psychedelic movement helped contribute to Prog, but Hendrix's small amount of progressive psych material didn't have the same impact on Prog as that of, say, Pink Floyd or Jefferson Airplane. I for one thought the Doors should never have been added to PA...

Thank you for defending me Mike
anyways, i did not know there was such a thing as progressive psychdelic
I saw the psychedelic section, and thought, Jimi Hendrix is psychedelic, so why isn't he in the psychedelic section
anyways, I am confused i guess by certain additions
also, to the people saying he plays blues, so does procol harum

I think 'nor will he ever be' is unneeded in this case.

And Hendrix is more bluesy than nearly any progressive rock is (it's already been established that he plays *the blues*, and of course we can't forget he was making forays into funk), and his lyrics are not very progressive either.
The "Jimi Henrix Question" is a confusing one.

what's confusing about HELL NO!!!  btw...have you listened to Jeff Beck? Of course he is great... but not random at all... he was a good inclusion here.

No, hell no.
He is a classic rock guitarist, a blues player.
He is great, not prog.

Jeff''s already here - Clapton is the only ex-Yardbird not to have made it into the PA, but that still does not mean that Hendrix should be included.

I think very soon the owners of this site will have to decide if they stay prog or go all the way cover all the rock field.
Jefferson Airplane, BS & T, DOORS, the Who, Led Zep and other bands never mentioned before in a prog conversation have been added to this site and i think the thin line separating the 2 genres is becoming very blurry now.
If you have Jefferson airplane, why not Grateful Dead, Quicksilver messenger service, Moby Grape or other rock-stoned californian bands?
Blood Sweat & tears? why not Chicago, Malo or Al Kooper solo?
The moment of truth will come soon.  |
