Jimi Hendrix-Are You Experienced
Icon and legend are words that we throw around too easy in culture today. I'm surely just as guilty of this. One album, no matter how good it might be, does not make you iconic or legendary. The words "icon" and "legend" are cheapened. Louis CK has a bit about the same thing (cheapening words) where he talks about the word "awesome". Funny bit from a very, very funny man.
Jimi Hendrix is both a legend, and iconic. Without him the genres of rock and metal wouldn't be here right now. His influence of course goes far beyond the two genres I mentioned.
Hendrix is of course known for his breathtaking guitar work and this album is full of it. This should be on everyones "must have" list.
