Perfect. Parts of it are Goddamn close to divine in the literal sense of the world.

Jimi's greatest album. As always there's a bit too much wanking going on to make the top 100, but this one comes darned close.

Best tracks: Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Burning of the Midnight Lamp.

Hell yeah! I'll ditto 40footwolf's remark of it being 'perfect'. How the fuck Are You Experienced? gets rated higher overall on the site or by an individual I'll never understand. There is something other-worldy about this album like it can't just have been humans contributing to this album...can't have been.

[Polythene Pam]

Definitely should be in the top 10


Totally incredible album

I'm an Axis man myself, but Ladyland ain't bad.

I just placed it at #19 on my 60's chart


I've always wished this song was longer.

Like 10 minutes longer


Crosstown Traffic

a good album, especially with a song that would've made Mozart quitting classical music to embrace rock : Voodoo Child
