Hendrix comes in at #2 (but not this song). Beatles, of course, score #1. Moonlight Sonata appears to be 3rd (where did that 9.3 score come from?). This info is under the Music/Artists tab.

1. The Beatles - A Day In The Life  (9.659)
2. Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower  (9.656)
3. Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata  (9.638)
 
Found the 9.3 info on the song's page.  It bears the 9.3 rating even today.

Thanks for the info on the Music/Artists page.  A few scrolls down found it.

Very good summation.

Hey, does anyone know the highest rated song on Radio Paradise? That would be interesting to know. 
 
Moonlight Sonata comes in at a lofty 9.3.  Is there any higher?

Are you kiddin' me, Cowboy?  This is sublimity itself and you're deconstructing the grammar?!?!  I rate it "Godlike".  You spent too much time in UT, lame-o Teasip.

Jimi in 1969. Create tune. I find some his style on this song ended up on the Chili Peppers Under the bridge.

Can some more people send in requests for Hey Joe?! It's never been played!

 

Maybe it's never been played here, but it's been played trillions of times everywhere else.  Turn on any classic rock station and you will hear it within an hour or two.

Such a great subtle song, love the guitar work and lyrics.  Probably Hendrix's deepest lyrics

Amen. This really is one of my favorite Hendrix songs. Somehow It mercifully wasn't overplayed by the "classic" rock stations that I listened to in my youth.
