Hendrix IF ALIVE
I love Jimi..he was my boyhood musical hero..however in answer to this question I think not..he would most certainly of had an influence on the developing style of contemporary music with unfulfilled collaborations with the likes of Miles Davis which sadly never eventuated because of his untimely death...but as surely as he was a guitar God the writing was already on the wall for the lead guitarist...with beat music starting it's inexorable rise and the receding role of frontman guitarists.
