Modern rockers pick their all-time favorite Hendrix songs

ROBBY KRIEGER:    Purple Haze

"The Doors were in New York doing a TV show with (famed NYC deejay) Murray The K, and he brought us up to his office after the shoot and said, 'Hey, I gotta play something for you guys.   Ever heard of Jimi Hendrix?'

'Well, no ...'   

So he put this record on, and I just couldn't believe it.  People call The Doors psychedelic, but this was true psychedelic music.  To me, Hendrix was the guy who was able to convey the feeling of the LSD experience in his music, whereas most people who took acid, like the Grateful Dead, played terribly.   They may have been having fun, but nobody else got it."
