Hendrix was the musician that made me go "Whoaa...dude..." back when I was younger. He really did amazing things with that guitar of his, and of course I wouldn't want anything more than to try and emulate him. I wouldn't say he really influenced me, musically (once you learn his riffs and your favorite songs, time to move on), but he definitely was the reason I picked up a guitar (well and Dylan of course).
I find I listen to more of his other albums more than Are You Experienced? and Axis. The Blues album is absolutely fantastic in my opinion though, and one of my favorite songs by him would have to be his version of Born Under A Bad Sign.
