Notes
The countdown wouldn't be complete without the greatest guitar player perhaps who ever lived. I put the Star Spangled Banner performance at Woodstock as his most historic performance, whether you like it or not. This is a unique performance as he takes the national anthem to places it never was before. Many thought it disrespectful. To me, it was a creative expression by Hendrix.
Other mentions from Hendrix are Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower, and Foxy Lady.
