I have to say likewise. Aside from the critically-acclaimed first album 'The Jimi Hendrix Experience', pretty much every other album he released until his death was garbage except for the appearance of one famous signature Hendrix track on each album.
You'd almost think that Hendrix only wrote six legendary tunes and then plotzed over dead from an overdose: Purple Haze, Voodoo Chile, Crosstown Traffic, All Along The Watchtower, The Wind Cries Mary, and Little Wing (Slight Return).
When's the the last time you've ever heard someone say they actually like any Hendrix tune but those six I mentioned above? Or can even NAME another track but those six?
PS: Rolling Stone flat doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. They panned every single Led Zeppelin album that came out on their release date, but they gave their highest critical award and endorsement to every single last Elvis Costello release ever produced. Elvis Costello is just awful, and the only reason Rolling Stone adores him is because everyone who works at Rolling Stone looks like Elvis Costello.
Rolling Stone is the most pretentious gathering of assholes on the planet. And that's saying something.
When Rolling Stone Magazine moved from San Francisco to New York I cancelled my subscription and threw out all my old magazines, I was so ticked. I even wrote them a letter telling them so, but would Jan Wenner answer me? Nope, he had to get back to NYC and hang around with hookers and blow or whatever.
Of course all those old Rolling Stone magazines from the 60s and early 70s would be worth something...jeez
The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first album was Are You Experienced.
Try Highway Chile, 51st Anniversary, Killing Floor, Mannish Boy, Can you see me? I don’t live today, Red House, Hear my train a comin’...
Sorry FRiend, but yer out to lunch on this one.
