Just throwing this out there because I've been listening to uncle Jimi's music most of the day... What are your 5 favortie Hendrix / Band of Gypsys / Experience /... songs? My list would have to be as follows:

1) Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
2) All Along the Watchtower
3) Little Wing
4) The Wind Cries Mary
5) Hey Joe

Cheers!

    I can't do a top five, because my list keeps changing. But I love this track. Shame it was never recorded properly.

    They're all so great. Bold as Love is my favorite... I think I can say that for sure. Followed by Voodoo Child (Slight Return).
