You can put all of them against Hendrix and SRV, and they would still win.

Jesus Christ. Did you just lump Hendrix and SRV together?

Whats so bad with that? Even Srv worshiped and covered Hendrix.

I'm really not huge on SRV, but I'd say that Hendrix is (by leaps and bounds) better than anyone in the original post.

They are all, however, talented guitarists - even if I really don't like Billy Gibbons / ZZ Top

it's more like Hendrix, Beck, Robin Trower, Pat Travers, Rory Gallagher, Duane Allman for me

Robin Trower was just another Hendrix copy. Gallagher is great though. He's my favorite blues guitarist.

Howard the Duck

but ain't he a GREAT copy?

The disrespect is meant toward SRV. I hate that boring crap. Hendrix is the best there ever was.

How can you like Hendrix so much and then call SRV a worthless guitar wanker? Of coarse we all know the level that Hendrix was on, but also the heavy influence he had on SRV. While Jimi was the first to do a lot of things and in my opinion is the all around greatest musician there ever was or ever will be. SRV's strong point was definatley his playing and I think if Hendrix were still around. He would pay him that same compliment. Its completley absurd to throw around accusations that SRV was of little talent. If you like Hendrix you like SRV. His version of Little Wing was one of the best pieces of guitar work ive heard to this day and anyone with any knowledge of how the guitar is played would agree. You dont have to like him but I think some level of acknowledgment has to exist. You simply dont accomplish covers like Little Wing and other pieces of music like Lenny, Texas Flood, etc by being a worthless guitar wanker. That sounds extreme and ignorant to what talent consists of.

That's like asking me why I prefer real women over porn.
