Are You Experienced — Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)

Jimi Hendrix’s 1967 debut rewired the electric guitar so completely that musicians remain in its shadow six decades later. 'Purple Haze,' 'Foxy Lady,' and 'Hey Joe' showcase a technique 30% more explosive than the average psychedelic rock album of the era. Hendrix didn't just play notes; he reinvented their possibilities.
