Jimi is almost the definition of proto-prog. Not prog himself, but an inventor of many of the elements that are essential to prog rock as we know it.
Yes he played alot of blues too, but there was diversity in his music. His expansion of what rock could express, the colors available to the player, all were important for prog as well as other genres.
He's here so I suppose there's not alot to discuss.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I added a picture of the artist and also changed the picture of Electric Ladyland.  |
Excellent picture! (Jimi's bio picture) In the dictionary where it says sensual it should have that picture and one of his guitar solos, ha ha.
I really hated his early guitar histronics and fake sex acts, horrible! I bet he wouldn't have enjoyed being reminded of that when he was over 40.
He looked so much better when he dropped that nonsense and just stood there and delivered the goods, as in this fine pic.

I absollutely disagree, his compositions are not Prog at all.
But now he's added, nothing can be done so i will say nothing more about him as i always do.

Please, don't even dream in Cream |
Hmmm. Hendrix is far more progressive than many bands we include on this site and as a Proto-Prog candidate I believe he stands up against the best of them. I would be perfectly happy with Cream for Proto-Prog too.

I'm happy to see Hendrix added. Maybe you did have to be there, but for those of us who were, this addition makes perfect sense.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

I think it is a good edition as well. And as impressive as Jimi was with his guitar playing, the two guys playing behind him in both incarnations were pretty darn good too and also performed some progressive music in their own right.

All I can say is that it's about time. The man turned the music world upside down. I'll enjoy revisiting his albums for my reviews. The Prog Gods are smiling.
