It's a good song, but it dosn't compare with some others.

5. have to agree with your nomination. |

Jesus, I love that version of that song.

Down the street you can hear her scream you’re a disgrace As she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool He cries oh, girl you must be mad, What happened to the sweet love you and me had? Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten, Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends And he built up a dream that when he grew up He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown ’cause she was crippled for life, And she couldn’t speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living, So she decided to die She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled you won’t hurt me no more But then a sight she’d never seen made her jump and say Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn’t have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

It's not the best (I would probably agree with Watchtower) but it's my favorite. :)

The difference between "I like it" and "it's objectively the best/shows the most musical ability".

or, Red House.
Unless you include cover versions, in which case I would say Hey Joe.

23. A few come to mind.... |
|
Any version of 'Machine Gun' - I particularly like the version from the Isle of Wight festival.
'Isabella' - live version by the Band of Gypsies - tight and it rocks!
I am a DEVOUT Hendrix fan so really, just about anyone works for me.
Only Jimi song that I have NEVER liked is 'Stepping Stone.'
Rock on!

33. If I were asking for the "best song by Jimi Hendrix" |
|
I wouldn't nominate something he didn't write.
