Absolutely; "Little Wing" is my favorite Hendrix song, and for that matter, Axis is my favorite Hendrix album. "Little Wing" is Jimi at his most concise, although that chord progression lends itself well to endless noodling. :)
The Stones went down hill when Mick Taylor left in 74. And for the people who dont know, 90% of ALL the Stones guiter riffs, including Satisfaction was done by Taylor.Richard just strummed along and probably had his guiter unplugged.
On certain websites you can find a recording of the Stones in Hawaii circa 1966. It was their last show of their then American Tour. That was in July 66 I think. About the same time in Tokyo, the Beatles had their show at the Budokan. Put those shows together and one will know why the Stones were considered the greates Rock n Roll Band in the world. The sneering of “Satisfaction” when it was fresh is something to hear.
Sad but true... Kieth Richards proved it too, he cleaned up in 1979 when they released Some Girls
And they’ve sucked ever since lol
The Stones at their peak imho, 1969-1974... the Mick Taylor period is without equal
And fwiw, I’ve got a really cool bootleg version of Exile, all weird outtakes and such... I think it’s worth some serious money

I’m surprised no one has called you out on this, because it is absurd on its face.
Satisfaction - released 1965
Mick Taylor’s tenure in the band - 1969 to 1974
“can you hear me knocking” has some amazing music in it..
Eric clapton’s autobiography is one of the best rock and roll ones ever. With a happy ending: he. Has put a lot of his time and money towards helping others kick substances.
“bell bottom blues” is the best, saddest break up song ever. Put away the guns, knives, and razor blades while you listen post break up.

In a business in which so many have screwed up their lives, Eric Clapton shines as a role model.
I had never heard "Bell Bottom Blues" until you brought it to my attention, and I'm glad you did, because it's a great tune. Nonetheless, for me, the greatest "break up" song of all time is Broken Hearted by Aileen Stanley.
