Here's one: I don't think there's much remotely enjoyable about listening to B1tch's Brew.

I can't see why people go on about Hendrix being the greatest guitar player ever. I mean their are other people who could outplay him, like Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammet, **** Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Gilmour, and Angus Young. Just my opinion.

Well yeh, there's tons that could outplay him from a technical perspective, but nobody did as much for the instrument as Hendrix did (as far as rock music goes, anyway). And apparently Miles Davis once likened Jimi's improvisational skills to those of John Coltrane.

From a purely skill way. The things he was an innovator in weren't over the top guitar licks which he is often credited for. What he did do was came up with a tone that was pretty out there for it's time.

Black Sabbath = not so good

Can someone on here tell me what is so great about this band, other than them being somewhat instrumental in the invention of hard rock? I cannot seem to get into them, or find their music very interesting.

I have to lawl at every person on here who treats them so messianically. Every country-lovin' person where I'm from likes this band. The staple of their music collection is like- a ton of George Strait, Alan Jackson, Metallica, and Black Sabbath.

I can understand someone not liking Black Sabbath.

What I don't understand is why someone would prefer Ozzy Osbourne's brand of lame pop rock over it.

Saying Jimmy Page is better than Jimi Hendrix is like saying something with no creativity at all is better than something with alot of creativity.

I'd argue that a bland car with 4 wheels is better than a really creatively designed one with 1 wheel.
