When I think "who's better than Hendrix?", Slash and Ritchie Blackmore spring immediately to mind.

Seriously. This poll looks like a list made in the lunchroom during my freshman year of high school.
you cant be surrous...Axel Rose a better singer than Freddie? put the crackpipe down...
I don't know about your HS lunch room, but in mine Hendrix would have been first. Zapppa or Clapton would have been second. At least I hope and pray Hendrix would have been first.
youre clearly older than I
you're clearly older than I, plus I can't stand queen, I'd rather hear bowie bootlegs
