What do you think?

Both are obviously helpful. Hendrix is usually considered the greatest of all time (he just won another such designation from rolling stone magazine), because he has both components. Joe Satriani is obviously technically amazing, but perhaps beyond the average listener's ability to comprehend, plus I don't find him that satisfying emotionally. Johnny Ramone could barely play, but The Ramones's fans totally got it.
