Nobody in rock music is going to have the kind of reputation the musicians of the 60s and 70s had,

Just as no classical music composer is going to have the reputation that Beethoven and Bach, etc. had. It's about being the original. Sure there may be a lot of guitar players that are technically better than Jimi Hendrix was. But Jimi created out of nothing, that's why he will be revered years from now.

I was never big a Hendrix fan...Now Joe Walsh? Thats a master guitar player.

It's about being the original.

Exactly and history provides thousands of varying examples. Like you can't have a Woodstock II, or another Beatles, or another RUSH Limbaugh.
