Hendrix... hands down.

Listen to Machine Gun, when you can tell a story with your guitar you know you've got skill.

Machine gun,
tearin' my body all apart.
Machine gun, yeah,
tearin' my body all apart.
Evil man make me kill you.
Evil man make you kill me.
Evil man make me kill you,
even though were only famlies apart.
Well,I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer,
You know what I mean?
Weh, hey, and your bullets keep knockin' me down.
Hey, I pick up my axe an' fight like a farmer, now,
yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground.
The same way you shoot me baby,
you'll be goin' just the same, three times the pain.
And with your own self to blame, machine gun!

Both great at what they do. I'd have to say I enjoy Hendrix a bit more, but I also have heard a lot more Hendrix.

SRV never got a tiny fraction of the airplay that Hendrix did.

Hendrix's stuff is great, but my guitar-master friend says his electruic guitar work is not good, because he uses lots of feedback effects to cover weak playing. The average fan-listener can't tell it.

I saw Hendrix play, he left the stage after only a 30-min set.

I didn't hear much of SRV till after he died & they had the farewell tribute concert with E. Clapton, R. Robertson, & others.

Hendrix's stuff is more hooked into my life because of memories.

SRV was vastly more of a master of the guitar than Hendrix.

Hendrix invented a lot and was creative, but was also messy. Vaughan perfected Hendrix's stuff with a clean, energetic style.

I say Vaughan's music is definitely better than Hendrix's, as all his versions of Hendrix songs are better, but then again, those songs wouldn't exist without Hendrix to write them and give them the emotion they had.
