#18 "VOODOO CHILD (SLIGHT RETURN)"
JIMI HENDRIX, 1968

CLICK THE ALBUM TO BUY IT AT AMAZON

Jimi's third album, "Electric Ladyland", sold more than a million copies in its first week of release (helped, in part, by the gobs of naked chicks on the cover).  Though many folks prefer "All Along The Watchtower", it's "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" that's my favorite.  The beginning rocks so hard, it makes your brain want to scream.  Jimi's guitar is without equal in this classic as it builds slowly into a rocket ship take off.  Even someone as thick as Hulk Hogan could see the power in this song, as he used it as his entrance music while in WCW (which, admittedly sucks, because I will always have the visual of him playing air guitar to the tune and ripping his shirt off every time I hear it, now).
