I deon't know enough about them both to comment on individual songs...

But good God, that Blue album saved my life more than once or twice.

I don't really know that much about Joni Mitchell...
But Jimi is MY MAN!

I can't decide which album I love more, because I just love him.
My top 3:

- Manic Depression
- If 6 was 9
- Machine Gun

"...She's got electric boots, a mohair suit- You know I read it in a magazine ..." {Bennie & the Jets}

I don't listen to Joni but Axis Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland often duke it out for fave Jimi album on my list

Aside from (pretty much all) the tracks on those^^ albums, other fave songs are Angel, The Star Spangled Banner, Power To Love, The Wind Cries Mary, Earth Blues, Message To Love, Dolly Dagger and My Friend (love his Blues vibe on this)

*R.I.P MJ*...*And Thank You SO Much!*

Dolly Dagar omg that is a jam right there(:

and Yes Blue & Hejira i kid you not as well as Jimi Hendrix's Eperience albums have saved people's lives no joke i have heard that mefore as has Prince's music(:


That's always moving to hear:D

I have a Hendrix LP called The Cry of Love that I love to pieces, and I firmly believe that Joni's Blue is good for the soul.

I'm definitely a big Hendrix fan. It pains me whenever I think of what he might have created had he lived longer. Even if he just disappeared off the scene like Sly Stone, at least I wouldn't be left wondering "what if".

Anyway, my favorite album of his flip flops between Are You Experienced and Electric Ladyland. Some of my favorite songs include;

Room Full of Mirrors
Purple Haze
The Wind Cries Mary
Foxey Lady
Manic Depression
1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)
Freedom
If 6 was 9
One Rainy Wish

I want to get into Joni Mitchell more. I love Big Yellow Taxi and Help Me but there's a lot I need to hear still.

I love Ms.Mitchell,,,,but I don't own a THING from the woman and I don't know where to start.

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

I'm afraid to show love for Jimi Hendrix, for fear of being ostrasized by certain orgers.

Don't like either one of them.

How did I NOT see this thread?! Love both artists. There isn't an album that I have heard and own by Joni that I don't like. I can't begin to state the importance of Hendrix to my life. So that being said, no one can go wrong getting anything by either artists.

Wait till tomorrow
1983
Remember
Gypsy eyes
My Friend
And the gods made love
Bold as love
Voodoo Child ( No not slight return)
Rainy day dream away

Showin love for both artists..Jimi & Joni is the shhh ...it!

I can't decide... But I'm leaning toward "slight return"

kinda got tired of slight return because every young player wanted to learn that for me it became "stairway"
