When I read the question. I swear I laughed my ass off. It such a stupid question! It's like asking who is better John Cage or Mozart. I mean seriously can you really compare them?

Hendrix was a very soulful player and help add an aspect to guitar and musc in general. He was helpful in bridging the racial gap and bring guitarist to take more risk.

Kurt on the other hand. He was motivation for tons of kids to pick up the guitar and learn how to play. After years of thinking guitar was not for them they see a guy like them playing on MTV making money. I think Kurt did a good job at the moviation part; however, most of those kids ended up playing the 2 chord songs and refused to expand.

Overall, Hendrix was more a person using the guitar and lyrics to show his emotions. Kurt was a guy whose talent was song writing and used the guitar for the catch lines.

Why bother comparing them.
