Weekend Rock Question: What Is the Greatest Jimi Hendrix Song?

Jimi Hendrix's newest release, People, Hell and Angels, landed at Number Two on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, selling 72,000 albums. It's his biggest chart success in 44 years – not bad for a guy who died in 1970.

Review: Jimi Hendrix, People, Hell and Angels

Now we have a question for you: what is your favorite Jimi Hendrix song? He had a brief career, but he recorded constantly and left an enormous vault of material behind. Feel free to go with hits like "Hey Joe" and "Foxy Lady," deeper cuts like "Ain't No Telling" and "House Burning Down" or posthumous tunes like "Ships Passing Through the Night" and "Hey Gypsy Boy." Vote for whatever you like, but please only vote once and only for a single song.

Weekend Rock Question: What Is the Greatest Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Madonna, Prince, Bruce SpringsteenKevin Mazur/WireImage; ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP/Getty Images; Kevin Mazur/WireImage

We're just two weeks away from the Super Bowl. Football is fine and dandy, but our main interest here is Beyonce's halftime show. What songs will she perform during the Destiny's Child reunion set? Will she truly sing live? Will Jay-Z come out during "Crazy in Love?"

Now we have a question for you: what is your favorite Super Bowl halftime show of all time? There's no need to stick to Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen or other acts from recent years. You can go all the way back to the University of Arizona Symphonic Marching Band in 1967 or Up With People in 1980. There was even an Indiana Jones skit in 1995. Anything is fair game, but please only vote once and only for a single performance.

Weekend Rock Question: What Is the Greatest Vocal Performance in Rock History?

An impassioned vocal delivery can elevate a song to amazing heights. Would "Twist and Shout" be as memorable without John Lennon's shredded vocal cord screams? Can you imagine "Like a Rolling Stone" without Bob Dylan's nasal delivery of "How does it feeeeeeel?" A lot of people have sung "River Deep, Mountain High," but nobody hits the notes quite like Tina Turner. 

Now we have a question for you: what is your favorite vocal performance of the rock era? Please vote for a single artist and song. Tracks like "Unchained Melody" have been covered by a lot of people, so specify if you're voting for the Righteous Brothers, Al Green, Sam Cooke, etc. Please only vote once and only for a single song. If we get 9,000 votes for Biz Markie's "Just a Friend," we'll know something's up.
