The rules are that I need to own the album & I don't include greatest hits or best of's. The odd compilation is allowed

The third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and produced by Jimi, this is his greatest work. The production is exceptional with unique effects developed by Jimi and the band (but mostly Jimi!). I love the experimentation going on here
This is my favourite Experience album
I have always struggled to articulate this album to other people so I’m going to use the words of other, more eloquent individuals to articulate my thoughts on the album. Hendrix called the tracks on this album “sound paintings” and I think that sums up the concept and delivery of the album particularly well. David Stubbs, said that it is "undoubtedly a rock album, albeit rock on the point of evolving into something else." I think that’s a good description. To have been in his head when he was making this. Where might Jimi have gone if he had lived?
In my words it’s a far-out funky / psychedelic blues album that draws heavily on psychedelia. It feels messy in places and sprawling, maybe even mixed-up and muddled and I love it. There are few albums ever recorded that have as much energy
flowing through them as ladyland.
It’s an amazing piece of work that’s essential for anyone’s record collection
