Listen. Stevie Ray never wrote a decent song. He just jammed. That's why you never hear any of them. Really, you are below this conversation. You see, Blues and rock can mesh with funk and punk and disco. you obviously know nothing about music. Be it classical or oldies. Beethoven had waaay more soul than Mozart. If you dont get it, you don't get it. By the way, B.B.King is a big Jimi fan and in fact put two jimi albums in his personal collection at the hall of fame. And Santana is on record as saying that Jimi was the greatest. So are about all of the great english/blues guitar players. Clapton, Townsend, etc. And you don't care for Dylan? You are an absolute novice with no ear for music. You're one of those people that watches the Grammys aren't you? If you can prove that Jimi beat women then do so. As for the army, Jimi was an airborne ranger. Were you? Honorable discharge. Broken Foot. Also, unlike many of his contemporaries he never protested the war in Vietnam. So, find some more ammo.
Castles made of Sand @ss!ole. Stevie Ray is the Vanilla Ice of his style.
