When people talk about Jimi Hendrix<\/a>, they often start by declaring that he\u2019s one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the earth, which is a fair enough assessment. <\/p>\n

He both constantly pushed boundaries and changed the way that people saw music, and he was also a lover of the medium, as he would also go to gigs and have his mind blown by different artists and songwriters. You can only give as much to music as someone like Hendrix if you adore the art form, and he made it no secret that he did.<\/p>\n

He was also never shy about giving the artists he admired their flowers. He would talk about them as if they were otherworldly, and would frequently cover the songs of people whom he believed were the best of the best. If you ever want to truly understand what music made a genius like Hendrix tick, you don\u2019t need to look far, as he wasn\u2019t one for secrets. <\/p>\n

However, out of all the different artists he loved, these are the five with whom his adoration bordered on worship. <\/p>\n
