Hi,

+1

I like Jimi a lot, however, I think that asking him to do "blues" and not letting him branch out as it was likely that he would and wildly so, was a shame. And still is ... the family won't release anything that is not blues related or closer to the single/hit material.

(Updated and the rest removed ... not intended to create friction or bad comments.)

White album. But if you put it up against Are You Experienced it would have been all Jimi.

Uh?? Confused

Never heard this before... but I'm curious

Could you break down the White Album tracks according "the solo artistes albums" please?

============================


here below in bold are the songs I really like and the rest are the ones that I just like.
  • A1 Back in the U.S.S.R. 2:45
  • A2 Dear Prudence 4:00
  • A4 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da 3:10
  • A7 While My Guitar Gently Weeps 4:46
  • A8 Happiness Is a Warm Gun 2:47
  • B5 Rocky Raccoon 3:33
  • C2 Yer Blues 4:01
  • C6 Helter Skelter 4:30
  • D1 Revolution 1 4:13


Even Noel Redding's track (he sings on it too) is great, IMHO.

The Beatles is a compendium of contemporary pop and rock and avant-garde music.

Electric Ladyland is a very good album of hard - rockblues music. More serious and more homogeneous the the White Album but less universal, less historical.

So, The Beatles

Hi,

+1

I like Jimi a lot, however, I think that someone forcing him to do "blues" and not letting him branch out as it was likely that he would and wildly so, was a shame. And still is ... the family won't release anything that is not blues related or closer to the single/hit material.

Just as an example of how good he could be, there is in one of the Beatles bootlegs a song with Jimi ... and let me tell you, that if he had been able to get more music like that, he would have made Steve Howe, and any of the other "gueetar" folks in "progressive" look like school kids! Maybe not RF, but who knows ... 

Things like the National Anthem, eventually gave way to the likes of Terje Rypdal and his experiments with jazzy stuff, and then chamber music ... not a single person here has EVER heard EOS and commented on the prettiest "chamber music" that Jimi would have done with his eyes closed ... augmented by a real bass player (David Darling) instead of another cookie crumbleer rock'n'roller! Electric Guitar doing CHAMBER MUSIC ... the kind of thing that PA doesn't have ears for sometimes!

No need to make another poll of these artists whose people like the most. I believe voting would have come like this:
1. The Beatles
2. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
3. The Who.

Although Who won the first album poll Hendrix vs the Who, difference between votes is much smaller than in those live albums. Anyway to me order is upside down although at the moment really hard to say which is better, Hendrix or the Who.

hey JeanSmile,

I much prefer Pavolv's Dog's version TongueWinkLOL

This said, I was always taken a bit aback by the rough state of some of these songs on White Album, as if they were still demo tapes (Birthday for ex)

The White Album has a few stinkers in it but the rest is pure gold. I don't know... a tie maybe?

Well, Harrison only has enough songs for half a solo album and Starr can't even muster up a solo single.

Harry Georgeson (one of his alias) had two solo albums during The Beatles' tenure and released a triple album straight out of the solo starting blocks. Which means he had a lot of them stacked up.

But yeah, I agree with you in general and posted so that I'd like to see the poster's breakdown of The White Album to justify his post.

Yeah, but what a half: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Piggies, Long, Long , Long and Savoy Truffle. He would have had more if only Paul McCartney wasn't hogging the album.

Yes, and as Sean says, he had enough material stacked up to release a solo triple album that eclipsed those from Lennon and McCartney imo.

It's Mosh...he has absolutely no clue what he is talking about. In fact, he is completely wrong. Jimi wanted to do more blues, jazz and R&B, and was going into full-fledged funk with a blues base as well (as anyone listening to Band of Gypsys will tell you). What Hendrix did not want to do any longer is white psychedelia and hits like Purple Haze. Hendrix considered Rock too limiting, and he particularly hated the label “psychedelic rock" attached to his work. He was heading into a realm of Afrocentric blues-funk, and blues-jazz. As Miles Davis wrote in his autobiography, “Jimi Hendrix came from the blues, like me."

So Mosh is clueless.
