Okay Petrucci is pretty ace and a superior technical guitarist I happily admit, but he'll never became quite the icon Hendrix did - I was around 12 years old when Hendrix first appeared on "Top of the Pops" and at that time (67-ish) no-one had seen or heard anything like him before.
I'm afraid dear old DT have a fair split of fanboys and detractors on this site. For me, I love Train of Thought. but not much else. But I am getting old

ofc hendrix was in his time something very special, unique and something noone had seen before. but as times changed petrucci now is even better technically - and yes - emotional ( i refer to an evening with JP and JR  ) so i think hendrix today is overrated. and itīs a matter of taste but i really didnīt get into his music as well as i did with petruccis soloing. for me petrucci wrote the most powerful and beautiful melodies.

I agree with you - Hendrix originals weren't earth-shattering, looking back. I genuinely admire Petrucci (and all of DT as musicians, no question about it) but for some reason only ToT does it for me (although I like quite a few individual tracks off other albums)..

Mind Drive: When Hendrix are in his prime time, Petrucci have: 1 year old!!
Did you realize the time between 1968 when Hendrix was playing and when Petrucci record his first DT record???
Did you realize that compare guitarist of different time, is the most subjetive comparison of all?
Many Many guitarist and techniques evolves in that period of time...
After all is a matter of taste.
Vote for Hendrix if you ask me

Wherever Zappa is now, I suspect he has little desire to come back to this rock.

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.

Your anti-Zappa attitude is disheartening.

How about we sacrifice the Jonas brothers instead? Or any other Disney affiliated "musician" ..... Would be nice to have the ol' Zappa back.

Yeah, I'd move them to the front of the line. Since Zappa is a singularity, can we pick just one member?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

How about sacrificing the members of a whole group of bands whose total numbers of albums released match that of Zappa? I think we could nuke the whole of math-rock for example
