27 November, 2013: If the late, great Jimi Hendrix was still with us, then he'd have turned 71-years-old today. Happy Birthday Jimi, the world is still a much poorer place without you.

It's a true tragedy that Hendrix only lived to the age of 27, and released only four albums during his short lifetime and career. Despite all of that, the reach of his influence can still be felt today - with his initimitable, voice, style, talent and passion continuing to inspire generation after generation of artists. 

From giants and legends like David Bowie, Robert Smith and Freddie Mercury to more modern game-changers like Matt Bellamy, Dave Grohl and Josh Homme, Hendrix continues to prove himself a muse. On the birthday of one of the greatest guitarists and showman of modern times, here are just 14 of the countless artists inspired by Jimi Hendrix.
