Don't know if I have posted this in the right forum, but dosen't Hendrix belong in the "protp-prog" list?

It's "Jimi", not "Jimmi".

I don't think he's prog ... not even proto. He influenced virtually every guitarist ... but he wasn't progressive.

true
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

are you sure he wasn't progressive? I think that many songs on "Electric Ladyland" can be considered at least "attempts" at progressive rock, see 1983 or House burning down (with the tango sections...!!!!!) among others. Ok, ok, just one album isn't enough.....

His latest album (which he sadly couldn't finish) is prog related IMO ... it ventured in the direction of Jazz/Fusion. Electric Ladyland is great ... but merely being psychedelic is not enough.

ok Mike, happy to know your thoughts

jokes apart, you're right, the "last" album may be prog related but I still see Ladyland as proto prog, especially in the tunes I mentioned before. MHO
