Way to Google the variety of genre's he incorporated in his sound. I doubt anyone could find a way to fuse all those together the way he did. However the fact that he was being creative with these sounds as early on as he was. Leaves little room to misconstrue the fact that he was in fact
influential. In more than just one way he contributed and left his mark on the music world. Also by changing the way guitar sounded and establishing new technique he was changing the style of Rock. Im not saying every band from then on mimicked his sound or play. But it did indeed leave its mark on rock.
I do agree with the fact the Beatles had more influence but anybody with any music knowledge at all knows that. As far as the total number of bands he did influence..how is there an accurate way to speculate on that? There are many though that have a distinct sound or style that screams Hendrix when they play.
Oh and Spy's are pansies imo
Besides with the exception of Davey you and D.J are just trollin but its cool. I dont get bent out of shape about lil stuff. I stand by Hendrix and Yes im probaly a hopeless fan boy. Thats what it is to truly be a fan of something. Im not however losing my sense of reasoning and logic. Of course the Beatles had more influence than Hendrix did but the initial debate was Elvis being crowned the king. So in comparison other than his mass popularity..no doubt cause of the marketing aspect of things and time of which he came about. I wouldnt place him over Hendrix for the King of Rock title. He was an image not so much an artist or experimenter or lyricist.
