Jimmy Hendrix

In class today we listened to Jimmy Hendrix, and I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed. Although I am sad to move on from The Beatles, I definetly have black and white opinion on the more rockish songs we are listening to. Pretty much for me it comes down to the singing. I can appreciate, when I really listen to the instruments, the real talent and amazing drumming skills of the songs. However, when I listen to the song as a whole, the voice of Jimmy doesn't really appeal to me. I feel like his voice is kind of raspy and just adds extra noise to the song. An example is in his song Remember:

I don't say this very much, but this might be one of the few songs that I would prefer in instrumental version. I think maybe it would help if he had some backup singers or something to highlight or make his voice a little less dull.
