Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced named greatest guitar album by Mojo

Mojo has named Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced the greatest guitar album of all time, with The Who and Howlin' Wolf in the top three.

Jimi Hendrix's 1967 album 'Are You Experienced', has been named the greatest guitar album of all time by 'music experts' from Mojo magazine.

Unsurprisingly, The Beatles failed to make the top 20 although the experimental 'Revolver' LP (1966) made the top 100. The Stones reached 11 with 'Exile On Main Street', while The Who got the number 2 spot for 'My Generation' (1965), followed by Howlin' Wolf's eponymous LP from 1962.

Mojo writer Ritchie Unterberger said: "It's impossible to cram all the innovative ways of playing an electric guitar that Hendrix pioneered on his first album into one paragraph."
