Good question, no idea. Just know one from the top that is absolutely terrible.

I guess I am really not a Hendrix fan...

Out of those The Wind Cries Mary. When I was little I liked Castles Made of Sand. I remember finding some Hendrix albums at my parents when I was just a kid and was amazed by them. Awwww crap, just remembered Little Wing too.

I have no idea which Hendrix song is his best but I do know if it wasn't for the fact that he played rock music, I doubt he would be hailed as the greatest guitar player of all time.

If Hendrix had played RnB or Funk music, he would not be hailed in the same regard. I firmly believe that.

Robert Johnson, BB King, Buddy Guy, and Bootsy Collins would like to have a word with you.

Guess you forgot about the Blues.

My friend and I made a Purple Haze drink in college that was wildly popular for a few parties...

The secret was going to Walmart and buying all of the purple shit we could find and learning what worked best for the drink.

Man, I can appreciate Hendrix as an innovator and personality, but this topic made me realize I don't really enjoy actually listening to him. As both a songwriter and technical player he's nothing special

I voted for Purple Haze, but my favorite is If 6 Was 9.
I also agree with a couple others on here that Crosstown Traffic is a good one.

Out of that lot, definitely The Wind Cries Mary. Honestly though, I prefer Little Wing. One Rainy Wish comes a close third.

I am always very tickled when Watchtower takes the crown in a Hendrix poll. Fantastic cover, but still a cover! ;D

I didn't include it in the poll since I don't think it was ever actually released, but I think his best performance was his version of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. Towards the middle of the song he starts recreating the sounds of battle with his guitar which I think is just amazing.

Is he recreating battle sounds or just going off on a wild tangent?
Either way, it's a kick ass version of America's national anthem.

They also played part of Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner in the first Cars movie (or at least the hip VW did anyway). I can't decide between his version of Star Spangled Banner and Purple Haze.
