Calling Jimi the funkiest is not so outlandish. He might not be my #1, but he's definitely on the list.

I mean goddam: Little Miss Lover, Spanish Castle Magic, Freedom...those ain't funky? Funkadelic based some of their funkiest joints on Jimi's riffs (compare Alice in My Fantasies with Izabella).

Just cuz they don't put you in the "funk" section of the Wrecka Stow, does that mean you ain't funky?
