Hendrix is the most perfect guitarist ever. We find it difficult, even with technology, to replicate his sound, let alone his playing. For me, he is the pinnacle of guitar playing. I appreciate others: Slash, Van Halen, Knopfler, Duane Allman et al., but Hendrix, for me, is the top.

Your last sentence spoils your credibility a little.

particularly Van Halen, with his double handed finger picking, which is exhilarating to watch and took things to a new level. But I agree with Two Hats in the sense that the genius of Hendrix was in him being the rhythm, whereas most axe grinders have relied on a good rhythm section - even though they are technically brilliant (and the Allman Brothers were great!).
I guess it comes down to what 'one' prefers in their music.
