For me it is his work on Richard Hell & the Voidoids' album, "Blank Generation," that cemented his status as my favorite guitarist. It is possibly the only punk album that deserves guitar solos.Eric J.

It includes several of his own compositions, but also such classic blues numbers as "Killing Floor", "Hound Dog", "Catfish Blues" and "Hoochie Koochie Man".

And I voted for him as No. 1.<br /><br />I was watching a Hendrix video lately (inspired by your poll) and was amazed by Hendrix' inattentiveness. He'd be onstage, tripping and making faces at some groupie, goofing, all the while mindlessly riffing. Then, his hands alone take this amazing harmonic/rhythmic turn and you can see his eyes light up as he hears it ... then he forgets the girls, dives in to his playing, and is just Coltrane-esque in his inventiveness for the next five minutes.<br /><br />I thought the two tracks of "Rainy Day" with Winwood were the future of music, but that changed.Milton Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470769665751561545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932752907198933265.post-64128961414605233442010-02-12T17:46:18.151-08:002010-02-12T17:46:18.151-08:00I'm a Boomer.
