What do you mean by "bad?"
Like when you say "bad" do you mean: Man that guitar sound Jimi had was "bad" like real "bad" ass. or Man that guitar sound Jimi had is bad like terribly "bad."?

All along The Watchtower was "catchy" because Zimmie penned it, actually.
Really Jimi's reliance was on the Sci-fi paper-back novels he read. Purple Haze was base on something from a book he read, it was not based on LSD-25 or any various other (I presume non-pharmaceutical) drugs.

I was assured by Ringo Starr in an interveiw he did that they [The Beatles] were not under the infleunce of the laughing grass or (non-pharmaceutical/street) drugs whilst they were recording in the studio . And Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds isn't about LSD as some propose. It was a picture I think that Julian drew supposively or at least that is what John told the press maybe as a cover up which I doubt he would throw his own son under the bus to cover up a (non-pharmaceutical/street) drug reference.

Holy moly what do you expect they had back in the 60's? Dub-step? Glitch-Hop? Jimi probably did explore all the genres available back in the 60's. I don't know if he recorded Country Music but his favourite guitarist was a country guitarist, Clarence White, who was the guitarist for the Byrds who he listen to quite a lot. And btw you forgot to mention Jazz, R&B and Soul.
