I agree with Bob Dylan, CSNY and Green Day

I would add Jimi Hendrix and The Doors

No, this Gen-Xer loves the Doors. Not overrated at all.

I would *not* add Hendrix. He was a great songwriter and guitarist. Very, very few people in his class.

Jimi Hendrix is the most original and creative players of the electric guitar. Everyone who came after owes a debt to him. He was a genius.

If you play guitar (as I have for well over 40 years) you will understand what Hendrix did for the electric guitar was absolute genius, irrespective of his drug abuse. Try playing six-chord blues riffs on a Fender Strat strung upside down and making it sound as fluid as a Bach minuet because your fingers could easily span five frets and you knew every scale in every key by heart. The only one who comes close in my mind is Stevie Ray Vaughan, who also died far too young.

Jimi Hendrix-overrated? The greatest electric guitarist in the rock genre? What about the songs he wrote? brilliant.

Ok now I know you’re goofing on everyone. Hendrix revolutionized music and you say he’s over rated. Either your pulling our leg or you artistically illiterate
