Now tell us, do you like films about gladiators?
What was so great about Roger Banister? Any decent club runner can run a mile in 4 minutes.
Are we going to devalue these people as well?
What was great about Hendrix was that he did something that no one had ever done before. In fact, he was doing things that other people didn't think were possible.
When you judge it against the players of today then sure, he would be nothing special but that (IMHO) is totally missing the point.
Ian Brown is poor vocally especially live, but was the perfect frontman for them. Joy Division sit along the same lines as the Pixies, if you're into that genre their influence is huge. The Pixies were another band that paved the way for so much after them. Most alternative bands of the early 90's would say the Pixies were huge for them. I think they're great too, but I only discovered them after listening to others who rated them.

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

Serious comment...
The great thing with Hendrix is his rhythm playing. The lead playing, yeah it's pretty good, especially in the context of time. But his rhythm playing is what distinguishes him. And he was singing half the time as well.
And his song writing. Flipping widdly bar imitators, stamping on a wossname and setting fire to their trousers with their teeth are missing the point - Hendrix wrote superb songs.
