Of course Hendrix is the best, I can't believe this debate is even taking place.
Your last sentence spoils your credibility a little.

He has never been found.

This is one case that I am sure that the police wouldn't bother about investigating.

No way, they are all awesome guitarists
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.
