Tommy I can take or leave beyond the odd track here and there - but either of Who's Next and Quadrophenia alone gives The Who my vote.

If you'd have included the 1st 3 Who albums rather than the ones that you did, I would have voted for The Who over The Experience. But the last Who album that I really love is Sell Out.

Hendrix was a wicked talent but never was able to harness his energy into making a great rock album.....he was just getting interesting beyond the gimmicks and flash when he died. Rainbow Bridge and Band of Gypsies are, to me, his most listenable albums - both made just before he passed.

^Each of his own, but I think three first Experience albums are all time greatest albums, as also Who´s Sell Out, Tommy & Quadrophenia. To me Hendrix was at first great composer and arranger.

You'll enjoy First Rays of the New Rising Sun. I really want to get the live box set of his Band of Gypsies shows. The second night he apparently plays his guitar clean. Surprised there hasn't been a documentary about Mike Jeffrey breaking up both The Experience and Band of Gypsies. I feel they should have had an actual studio album. But live they were the peak Hendrix ticket. Many guitarists since play as well or even faster than Hendrix. But they just don't seem to have the heart or mindset of Jimi. This poll is heartbreaking and first three Experience albums against the actual first three albums from The Who, Beatles,Pink Floyd or Genesis would be bloodshed! |

I listen to the Who far more than Hendrix. Not to say I don't like hendrix because I do, but The Who is more entertaining for me.

RUX = Sell Out. Electric Ladyland > Tommy. Axis > A Quick One. I suppose if the Who classic were paired against the JH albums Alan Douglas immortalised ... Quadrophenia and Who's Next smoke the rest... Although Cry Of Love fitted in just nicely thank you very much. And Rainbow Bridge.. Band of Gypsys vs Live At Leeds..? Not much tops Machine Gun... not even on that Who album... |

Hi, TOMMY makes sense for the time it came up ... it might not be as valuable or as great today, but it did bring with it some songs that are remembered quite well ... the moment in the Woodstock film, being one of the great memorable seconds in that film. Jimi is very valuable, and his interpretation of many pieces is excellent, but as a music "innovator", I would say that Jimi had more to give and show than THE WHO did ... and that's not to say that THE WHO were not a great band ... they were. Tough poll, but Jimi gets my vote. It's hard to disagree with the guitar playing in things like Purple Haze, and All Along the Watchtower ... it's monstrous in their conception alone!

Seems some feel as I do about Tommy........when I was a teen that album just seemed so strange to me. Of course the movie was a chore to watch, still today. But the album is one of those if I don't play it ever, I'd be fine with it.
Jimi on the other hand......I spin everything by Jimi.

Both musicians have there place in the historical elements of changing how music was created and i like both but because of the sheer iconic three albums its the The Who

I've always listened to him more than The Who.

Hi, The only influence I will credit Sly and the Family Stone for is his helping me get my head bashed in Chicago, when his band did not show up and the fans got restless! It pretty much destroyed the whole idea/thing he did in Woodstock, as just a stoned infectious disease. Sorry ... The poll itself, I think that Jimi was a much stronger influence all around. In many ways The Who became the "darlings" in the English media to make sure the Americans did not get better/top billing! But I do think that THE HOW had a lot of very nice things, and Tommy was something I enjoyed a lot, but later, and help me lead to the European progressive music scene that was far more interesting to listen to than just "hits" all around.

Hendrix by far. I've never cared for the Who and believe me I've tried.

Everything about Jimi Hendrix excites me more than The Who - including his singing and songwriting skills. The Who is nice but I think Jimi belongs on another artistic level.

I can't remember what I've voted (see below)....
but it's still very difficult I prefer RUXp to Tommy, and I prefer Next to Axis. so it's tied or on par So it's down to Quadro and Ladyland   I'm really tempted to say JHE, but I can't be sure what I voted back in autumn. |

 Not really much into The Who.. On the other hand, I'm a great Jimi fan, play guitar since long (even at one time in school with a couple guys we kind of covered his amazing rendition of 'Born Under a Bad Sign' from the Blues album for some activity). Tons of love for Jimi around here; some friend introduced us back then (mid 90's) to Band of Gypsies and that also was a milestone.. it blew us away. Another favorite is 'First Rays of the New Rising Sun'. About the three mentioned, I like them all; recently with a bias toward Electric Ladyland. Then it would come the great Axis and then AYE, both of which I have on cd. |
