There was a member on here a few years ago that said exactly the above in an attempt to cause controversy, would that be you?

I’m not going to deny the fact the Jimi had some creative genius in him – it’s just the fact that he had to (mostly) rely on LSD and various other drugs to compose songs. I compare that to The Beatles’ Let It Be and Abbey Road albums – they had simply run out of ideas and turned to drugs to help find a new tune.

A lot of artists were using it around that time, I see no reason to use Jimi as a unique example here.

For all that Jimi is praised in his techniques; he doesn’t really expand outside his genre. A true musician explores all genres and styles. Jimi only delves into rock, blues and a bit of psychedelic, and that’s it.

Why should he expand out of his genre? I don't see how that should detract from him at all. As Urban said, when you die after just three studio albums that really puts a lid on where the artist could've gone.
