I think one of the things that makes him so special is that, even though he is hugely influential, nobody who came after him has really ever been able to replicate his style. It's pretty impressive when you think about it because so often the thunder of the highly influential is often muted over the years by the simple fact that their formerly innovative sound becomes commonplace.
That said, naturally I vote yes for Jimi.
