I think Hendrix gets the cred because he broke new ground. No one approached the electric guitar the way he did before him. Looking at it from our vantage point, we can say that maybe people are better or have pushed it farther, but he was revolutionary for the time.
I have this argument with my wife all the time in regards to modern art. She's always saying "Why is Jackson Pollock so great?" And I have to explain that he is revered because no one did what he did before him.
