Due to the statistics used, once you reach a 100 or so ratings, the final result is pretty much set in stone. So the answer is no. We can't get this over 9.

Why do some people give a rat's ass whether someome used or uses drugs (or not). Louie Armstrong smoked pot, Ray Charles used heroin. They were amazing and wonderful human beings, great artists and productive citizens. Drugs are part of the universe just like anything else. They are not good or bad.

Yeah, especially when you feel you have to use drugs to the extent he did.

When you take into consideration the quanitity of great songs Jimi wrote/performed and then consider the timeframe he did this ( around 2-3 years only) it's amazing how much he did in such a short time.

Like many artist, the well was surely going to dry up eventually. 

OK, I may be "asking for it" here, but: What is the particular statistical method used that restricts the outcome so rigidly? Is there a more flexible, and realistic, method that could be applied?

                 (And oh yes, this song is a 10 for me).

still a little acid floating around?  

8.5!??!  Come on guys!  We can get this over 9.

I RECALL HEARING THIS ALBUM ON ACID,
after that I could no other music really serious any longer!

And it's by far not his best work!

Man, I don't understand that some people aren't moved by Hendrix' music.

I have a lot of respect for the fact that Hendrix was entirely autodidact, but the fact that he ignores musical traditions means that there's little for me to grab onto.  A virtuoso, sure.  But as a composer, not so much.

Nary a Jimi Hendrix song that has every "done" anything for me. I honestly wish I could say otherwise.  There's just a whole-lotta other music I would rather hear.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the exposure to a diverse variety of music here at RP, but just sayin...

Can't wait for the technology that will allow me to listen to internet radio when I'm mobile.... 

This song makes me sad when I hear it because it hints at the acres and acres that he had yet to explore when he died. Miles and Jimi were allegedly talking about doing something together .... would that have been something? As great as he is and the original Brother from Outer Space is GREAT, we could have had - like with Coltrane, Joplin and Morrison - so much more. A 10 ... easy. - Riff

This guy is pretty good...does have any new stuff. 

It exists!

I've posted in another thread that I use the command line version of Streamripper to record RP in 30 minutes blocks so I can enjoy listener-supported, commercial-free radio programmed by a real, live human person while driving.

If you're stuck in the Windows world, or just don't want to mess around with bash scripting, another method is to use the VLC media player. It has the ability to capture streams and save them as mp3 files. (It's also an excellent media player that works in Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and Syllable, and well worth using even if you don't want to record streams).

I record a few hours of music, then copy the mp3s to my portable player for listening to on the road. It helps that my car stereo has an 1/8" stereo input jack. If yours doesn't, but you have a cassette deck, you can get an adapter that will plug in to your iPod, or what ever portable player you use. If you're stuck with a CD player only, you could burn your music to a CD-RW, and just blank it when you're ready to put new music on it.

Driving is *so* much more enjoyable since I've started doing this. For me, listening to commercial radio now is like surfring the net without your pop-up blocker enabled: unimaginable.

This is sucko barfo, which ironically is Jimi's bio.
