    A. Hendrix: This is the closest category that Cobain comes to to beating Jimi, however if you dig really deep, you can find Hendrix music where he shows off his FANTASTIC voice. Kurt is just kind of loud and annoying to me.

    B. This isn't even an argument. Hendrix. I respect Kurt's music, but playing power chords doesn't make you great. He was influential, but I would compare his influence to that of the Ramones, who popularized three minute three chord songs. Jimi on the other hand was out of this world with his skill and guitar prowess.

    C. Listen to Castles Made of Sand and Have You Ever Been. Nuff said.

    D. Ummmmm......Maybe this was a little bit biased being the Hendrix fanatic I am, however who cares. Friggin Hendrix.

    Source(s): I like Jimi Hendrix.

    They are not even comparable...

    a Cobain

    b Hendrix (100,000 times over)

    c Cobain

    d Hendrix

    Kurt's death is tragic, but the music world is full of tragic deaths... Hendrix was the best guitarist we have had so far... Like Kurt said... he was worst at what he did best....

    Jimi is a legend... Kurt is a tragedy.
