Fresh, new and raw. Great musicians. The first 'metal' band.
Electric LadylandElectric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £6.24
Nine To The Universe, a collection of jams, is my fave Jimi CD, but its no longer available. This is an essential CD, although here they have changed the old cover. What was wrong with naked females?

Mozart - the Hendrix of his time. As dark as the last track on a Black Sabbath CD. Go on - shock your parents. Buy it and play at volume 10.

Parts of this could be played with a loud electric guitar. NK - pratt, genius - or both?

My fav CD at the moment. Honest music and a great songwriter.
Meaty Beaty Big and BouncyMeaty Beaty Big and Bouncy by The Who

The Who can be patchy. This on is spot on (apart from Boris the Spider!)
LateralusLateralus by Tool

Prog rock? Intellectual metal? Art? I don't know and I don't care. Just buy it and enjoy.
No RemorseNo Remorse

There maybe better motorhead CDs, but this one works for me. Listen to the melodic guitar on Dancing On Your Grave.
