Electric Ladyland is a treasure. He is an under-rated singer. The lyrics were a bit silly. It was amazing how many different sounds he could make with a guitar, with the technology of the time. The songs he was working on when he died were great, and I would have loved to have seen him polish them up.

I often think about what he would have done next. I think he may have gone into jazz/fusion, like Bitches Brew by Miles Davis. I think he would have got bored with conventional rock music.

I hear this song when I hear Prince.

I like how his guitar sounds "watery" on Drifting:
