    What does that have to do with anything we are talking about. That doesn't get you in the top 5 American bands of all time. If he didn't die at 27 he would most definitely be on that list as would Nirvana but......

    It has plenty to do with it. The guy made 3 of the greatest albums ever, left behind a few more worth of amazing music that, even in half imagined form, is some of the greatest ever. Add to that 3 of the absolutely most legendary performances ever put on...Monterrey, Woodstock, Fillmore.

    I'd put Page above Hendrix as a guitarist, but to put PJ above him would be a travesty. It took a bunch of PJ nerds to get the victory against him. That should tell you something.

    Even at 27, his music was more influential than any other American musician other than many Bob Dylan (IMO of course).
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    his guitar playing has everything to do with being one of the greatest american rock bands. he started a sound that people take for granted now. no hendrix = no modern rock guitarists.... and yes that includes mike mccready.

    This post was hilarious and infuriating at times. I wish I would have seen this so I could have cast my vote for THE GREATEST BAND EVER: PEARL JAM. I know what the Beatles mean to many, many people, but they bore the living hell out of me. I WANT to like them, but they just do not get my motor running. Right now it's Led Zep vs Beatles and I cast my vote for LZ, isn't looking good though.
