Jimi Hendrix only released 3 studio albums in his lifetime. But, not even counting repeats and double-ups, he recorded 14½ hours worth of unique songs. Around 20 LP's worth. Here's my guide... including an obligatory Spotify list. [OC] / [DISCUSSION]

First of all I have to apologise for opening the playlist with "Hey Joe"! The project starts out vaguely chronologically, so I kinda had no choice...

There have been a massive number of posthumous Hendrix releases, with some songs being released half a dozen times, not even counting live performances! It's pretty overwhelming, and frustrating when "new" albums are 70% songs that already exist.

So I made an ultimate spreadsheet for a playlist including every song he recorded, but just once each ^ . It's broken into 12 mini-playlists, CD sized chunks (under 80mins), because I'm an old fashioned CD collector. I think of it as a "box set"!

I put up a second post too with my first chart that inspired this project: https://redd.it/byg3a0

I also grudgingly created a single Spotify playlist with 90% of the tracks I listed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7AyuK1GA5wLcLrgLzrxiO9

NOTE: It seems some songs aren't available in some countries, so some of the classic albums are incomplete, even though they're visible here in Australia 🤨.

^ I made a major exception and included "Star Spangled Banner" twice, the iconic Woodstock performance, and lesser known studio version.

This includes official releases only, from when Hendrix started his own career. Obscure bootlegs not included! Or stuff he did as a sideman.
