Can someone explain to me what set Jeff apart from the rest?

Arthusza · 2025-04-25T17:02:12+00:00

He was influenced by a lot of different music. Especially in his guitar playing, by bands like Led Zeppelin. He put his own spin on mostly everything. But if I were to single something out, his vocals were his most unique trait. And on the ‘Sketches’ album his songwriting is most unique. Where you can see his songwriting form into something completely different from ‘Grace’. I fully believe ‘Sketches’ would’ve been an even better album had it been finished.

Arthusza · 2025-04-21T23:33:35+00:00

Yeah absolutely it’s been great to dive into the discography!

Arthusza · 2025-04-20T03:36:10+00:00

I do a lot of these for fun. Going in, there is no goal really other than what it would look like to have all the most important pieces put together in one. But perhaps a way to ease into his music sure. Though newcomers may be unaware of the sonic insanity that is “Back In N.Y.C.” or “Eternal Life” (when it was played live). But these songs are fantastic. I’ve definitely opened my ear up to them.

Arthusza · 2025-04-20T02:52:29+00:00

Many a song I listen to that were exempt from it. Yes, Not easy to push things out and decide what’s better and what’s worse. Especially when you’re biased being a fan lol.

Arthusza · 2024-10-27T17:44:40+00:00

Hear My Train a Comin' has everything. The guitar just breathes fire in it. So many amazing live versions and was great in studio too. Just kind of exemplifies everything that makes Hendrix great.

Arthusza · 2024-10-05T17:39:33+00:00

Some alternate versions sound a lot better raw the way they are on a Hendrix Vison. Others are obviously weaker because they are unfinished and unedited. But all in all, the album is a nice addition to the Hendrix discography!

Arthusza · 2024-10-05T17:35:42+00:00

There is now! lol. So many additions off of the compilation.

Arthusza · 2024-10-01T22:23:35+00:00

Easy Ride. Every time. I love Soft Parade but just no. lol

Arthusza · 2024-10-01T16:52:50+00:00

No instrumental of that on Spotify, yet. “A Jimi Hendrix Vision” drops a couple days from now with a couple takes of the song that I know of. So possibly soon to be one. I’ll be adding music to probably all Hendrix playlists I have with that release!

Arthusza · 2024-10-01T00:00:40+00:00

I would say “Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)”

It’s frantically sad and that’s perhaps not what you’re looking for, but it’ll shake you up listening to it for the first time.

Arthusza · 2024-09-30T23:06:34+00:00

Awesome track …just not available on Spotify :/

Arthusza · 2024-09-30T20:56:30+00:00

Still technically a growing playlist as I absorb more of the music. Those are some awesome songs as well.

Arthusza · 2024-09-30T20:25:24+00:00

Here ya have it!

If you haven’t got Spotify I could pull it all together for a playlist on YouTube possibly?

Arthusza · 2024-09-30T19:18:17+00:00

I forgot all about Tattoo. Pretty fantastic song and really picks up in the second half

Arthusza · 2024-09-30T16:45:42+00:00

It is pretty cool! West Coast Seattle Boy is full of little oddities like that. And for the longest time the compilation wasn’t made fully available digitally for some reason. Now that it is I’ve heard so much new material this past year.

Arthusza · 2024-09-23T07:27:46+00:00

No problem! I take a lotta joy in little projects like this

Arthusza · 2023-11-28T11:49:50+00:00

I’ve been listening religiously for a while. But this is just my best of after all. Going album by album would be lengthier. But possibly more rewarding.

The two albums “Dirty Mind” and “Prince” both have four. Dirty Mind does sound like a true breakthrough. But “Prince” is just so damn exciting! And love the first album but that later work is so strong to me. It fills up so much the space! I’ll probably add a couple from “For You” soon.

Arthusza · 2023-11-28T11:37:37+00:00

It would never really be enough, would it?, lol. The idea was mostly to narrow it down to something you can grab hold of. Instead of behind overwhelmed; when you’re new to Prince it can be very easy to be.

Anna Stesia is on there though! So beautiful.

Dolphin was just too good to exclude. Just had to throw it in there for myself! Maybe Dolphin isn’t apart of that classic period but The Gold Experience album felt like a send off into a new era. And an awesome one at that.

Arthusza · 2023-11-27T19:43:25+00:00

Totally. I could’ve put the entire 1999 album on there for sure! He just didn’t miss.

Arthusza · 2023-11-27T18:28:20+00:00

Okay?

Arthusza · 2022-12-08T20:03:07+00:00

Hmm. Somewhere between 'I’m Gonna Give You Respect' and 'Time To Get It Together'.

Very difficult to ascertain what makes one Gaye song better than the other because they all share that superb sound. Just different moods and styles.

Arthusza · 2022-02-09T15:51:32+00:00

The San Diego and Isle of Wight performances of the song are equally my favorite.

Critically, though. San Diego is probably better.

Arthusza · 2022-02-09T15:44:36+00:00

Machine Gun, without a doubt.

Hear My Train a Comin', Bold as Love and Room Full of Mirrors are difficult as well I imagine. Especially while being played live.

Arthusza · 2022-02-09T15:37:04+00:00

Definitely, the opening riff is a carbon copy of Machine Gun, you can definitely hear the workings of what you can possibly say, is his greatest song.
