Oh, LOL, that was careless of me.  In deleting the keyword search from the URL (to avoid highlights in the thread), I also deleted the last number of the topic ID...  Instead of 2720, it should be 27205.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27205

Anyway, it's an interesting read.

You have to set the search parameters to any date (the default is the last six months), and I have found many topics on his inclusion (this is the 9th Hendrix topic in this forum alone).  Here's one of the more epic ones (with a poll): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720

I must admit that I have a soft-spot for Hendrix in the archives, and have shown support for  his inclusion, but I also have my reservations.  I will speak more later.

I recall a rather lengthy discussion on him a little over a year ago, and I believe the final verdict/vote was No (it was a poll I believe)    ..Hendrix didn't often veer far from his heavy blues/psych roots, though certainly releases as Axis and Ladyland flirted with a progressive approach   ..though he had hinted at a new prog/art direction (he was a big fan of early proggers Touch, plus the HELP project, etc.) , he died before producing any of this work, and did not demonstrably influence any of the artists in the prog movement, as most of them were moving away from what Hendrix was doing, so Proto or Prog Related wouldn't fit him either

I have seen topics of him around here before, but I can't find them with the darn search function, and I never saw the final verdict.

Anyway, why isn't he listed here on the archives?

I know just being influential alone isn't enough to get an artist here...but he was a heavy component in the development of Psychedelic music and among other genres just developing at the time. His stuff was also pretty progressive at the time, with the sounds. He also has some really lengthy tracks that were also unconventional at the time, like 'Voodo Chile' from Electric Ladyland.

Just wondering what others think.
