One criticism I've read a lot over the years was that the family (in particular his sister Janie) went overboard releasing every single thing they could dig up. On one hand I think Jimi would not have wanted some of the current releases to be shared. As a fan, I've enjoyed listening to everything although it's a bit weird for his legacy to have a bunch of what many consider "subpar" recordings mixed in with such timeless works.

I am a big fan of his early work, however my favorite era has always been Woodstock -> BOG. There was just so much raw intensity in his playing during that time.

Great thread, J-Doug! I think you've made some very interesting points (especially #3), although to be honest I haven't spent much time thinking critically about things like Billy vs. Noel or Mitch's decline.
Thanks Ryan! I've listening a lot lately and maybe thinking a bit much.
