I'm now taking nominations for the best song by JIMI HENDRIX

I'd like to nominate: All Along the Watchtower
I now open the floor to other nominations. 1 per person, please.

Foxy Lady
Purple Haze
Hey Joe
All Along the Watchtower
Wild Thing (live version)

A Merman I Should Turn to Be is a close runner up

The two songs I was going to post. I'd add "Third Stone from the Sun."

second: All Along the Watchtower
third: Foxy Lady

It's a good song, but it dosn't compare with some others.

it's really had to argue with 'All Along the Watchtower.'

Jesus, I love that version of that song.

Down the street you can hear her scream you’re a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown
’cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn’t speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you won’t hurt me no more
But then a sight she’d never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didn’t have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

hey joe

Concrete Blonde and Stevie Ray Vaughn's are favs of mine.

It's not the best (I would probably agree with Watchtower) but it's my favorite. :)

Do you mean, the most people think its the best?

The difference between "I like it" and "it's objectively the best/shows the most musical ability".

or, Red House.

Unless you include cover versions, in which case I would say Hey Joe.

While I also love all of the outerspacepyrotechnicsvoodoo, this gentle ballad always moves me

And the 'Wind Cries Mary' and 'Spanish Castle Magic'. Oh and 'May This Be Love' ('Waterfall')

I think it's Red House.
Second, is Vodoo Chile

Any version of 'Machine Gun' - I particularly like the version from the Isle of Wight festival.

'Isabella' - live version by the Band of Gypsies - tight and it rocks!

I am a DEVOUT Hendrix fan so really, just about anyone works for me.

Only Jimi song that I have NEVER liked is 'Stepping Stone.'

Rock on!

Red House is #1

I meant played by Dylan </sarcasm> No, the Jimi Hendrix version.

I wouldn't nominate something he didn't write.

gets my nomination

Love the melody and lyrics...

Which is from my favorite Hendrix album, "Axis: Bold As Love".
