It took me a long time to come around to 'Jimi' - I always thought he was great, but loved a lot of others along the way. Digging deeper into his catalogue, though, a lot of his stuff later became fresh sounds waaaay later. I have bands that I love who made their sound off of one of his passing fancies. Sorry, can't put May into that category. I am a big fan of his brother, tho.
