I dont think there's any reason at all to pick on SRV. That dude was cool af.

does anyone except 50+ year old Hawaiian shirt dudes actually sit around and listen to SRV

Given that I'm almost 50, I'd say, probably not. I still hear him on our local radio stations.

If I'm listening to the song Hey Joe, It's being sung by Body Count.

I like my All Along The Watchtower by U2.

My dad is a huge Stevie fan but I've never seen him wear a Hawaiian shirt, he's more of a flannel guy.

SRV's wider influence is more to do with amplification. Dude did loud good.

I saw him live just before he passed when he was opening for Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop tour. It was one of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to.

I don't know SRV much, but I like what I've heard. His brand of blues is catchy.

I'd still take Jeff Healey over SRV though.

Healy's outro solo on his cover of While My Guitar G W's still gives me goosebumps. His bends were fantastic. SRV has some of that same magic on his cover of Come On (Part III). There's lots to like with both.

Agreed. Lots to like, for sure.
