I too, am old enough to remember when Jimi Hendrix came on the music
scene ( as an opening act for the Monkees at a Forest Hills concert).
If I recall, only 4 or 5 albums were released while he was alive;
my favorites are the first and "Electric Lady Land".  I never liked
anything that was released after his death but "Electric Lady Land"
and the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" are both 'good' and as for different...
well, there was much experimentation going on in '67 and '68, and I
see Jimi as one of the better guitarists of that time.
