Favourite Hendrix album...

...out of the four original albums recorded before his death, and the one he was working on when he died.

 

Axis is my fave - but the cry of love is a close 2nd.

 

It's a hard choice, isn't it? I went for Axis too, 'cause it includes Little Wing, one of my favourite Hendrix songs ever.

 

Yeah - a very hard choice! Electric Ladyland is great too.........:sunglasse

 

i voted for are you experienced?, bold as love is a close second

 

I've always been partial to the Band Of Gypsys period..

 

god damnit that is hard! Im gonna go with either electricladyland or axis, but theyre all brilliant!

Peace and love

I was torn between 'Electric Ladyland' and 'Are You Experienced?' but I went for 'Electric Ladyland', I've even got the vinyl copy with the naked women on ;-) Tis' a good'n.

 

axis bold as love for sure!

 

I'd say Axis: Bold as Love, with Electric Ladyland at a close second.

 

I voted 'Axis:Bold as Love' :

'If six was nine ' compares to 'Love's' : 'The Red Telephone' .

 

So the Curtis Knight stuff is out then?hehe

I didnt vote, because I dont think there is any way to say that one is better than another from him. All are great, well crafted, and I couldnt choose just one, sorry!

Besides, my three fave Jimi tracks arent on those at all, and are only live performance works.

 

Bold As Love has become my favorite out of all his releases.

I'm not really a big fan of studio editing/using the studio as an instrument (look what it did to Standing on the Shoulder of Giants ) but Bold As Love kicks ass when it comes to studio usage. Jimi Hendrix was not only a god on guitar, but a genious in the recording studio.

 

Axis!!! All the way

 

Are You Experienced all the way.

 

'first rays of the new rising sun'... man, just listen to 'hey baby' or 'room full of mirrors'... youll get it. but theyre all excellent...

 

Dudes, I gotta say I'm glad Axis is winning, although I know they're all pretty good. But does no-one like the Cry of Love? I mean, come on guys, it has Ezy Ryder on it!

 

Except for "Bellybutton Window", I've gotten live versions of all the songs on there that I find to be superior to the album versions...

Infact, I've never found a live version of Bellybutton Window.

 

I voted 'Band of Gypsys' with 'Are You Experienced?' being a close second, but really they are all GREAT.

 

Yeah, he's one of the few, few people who never recorded a bad song ever.
