13. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland (1968)
I don’t know what I can say, if you love good guitar then you already love this album. The Bob Dylan cover of All Along the Watchtower is amazing. There are some trippy songs that you forget you’ve been listening to for the past 8 minutes, such as ‘Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away.’ My favorite is House Burning Down or maybe Cross Town Traffic, where the girl just doesn’t get the message. I read a review that said House Burning Down was a social commentary, but I just think it’s a badass song. Hendrix usually gets all the glory, but Noel Redding was an amazing bass player. RIP Hendrix and Redding.
