I do find SRV overrated to some extent, he wasn't very innovative, but then again as Jr pointed out, blues guitarists tend to do the same things over and over, sometimes shamelessly "borrowing" each others chords, which further pisses me off when people give Page, Clapton, SRV or any non-african american blues guitarist crap for doing the same thing, only with them it's considered stealing, I think it qualifies as reverse racism...
SRV had a unique style in his playing, for a blues guitarist, Texas Flood is an exellent album.
