Booo for Little Wing. One of my favorites, although I like the SRV version better.

The only thing wrong with that song is it is too short.

I thought there would be more of a backlash for Little Wing. I know it's a popular song, but I have never warmed up to it.
Jimi is one of those artists where it's tough to find bad songs and Little Wing is the one I like the least. Granted, I only have eight of his albums including 'Valleys Of Neptune" which just came in the mail today so I haven't listened to it yet.

Well, don't tell me how the universe is altered, when you find out how he got paid.

Have you ever heard the Stevie Ray Vaughn version? Instrumental only and one of my favorite songs. So much better than Jimi's version. The Derek and the Dominoes version is better too in my opinion.
Bike by Pink Floyd has to be their worst song.
