This is the eleventh in a continuing series I call Critical Consensus. I am averaging the opinions of several excellent music critics to produce a list of each artist's albums. The albums will each have a rating between 1 and 10. The albums will be listed in a recommended purchasing order, so new fans will have an idea of where the best place to start buying an artist's work is. These are not my opinions, although, since I have chosen the critics used (and I'm using many), my taste will perhaps seep through a bit.
Terribly nerdy, I know, but maybe this will help people only now beginning to dabble into certain artists' bodies of work.
Electric Ladyland and Are You Experienced are classic albums, but I also have to push the album Band of Gypsys. Its one of my favorite live albums.
Band of Gypsys scored a **** 1/2 on the new CC list for Hendrix! Movin' on up!
Shalom, y'all!
