A legend, an icon, and the man that took rock to an almost mythical place in pop culture, there are few who have reached Jimi Hendrix's place in the music pantheon. He took blues, jazz, and funk and combined them in an elemental way that put the guitar at the top of the instrument ranks and changed what was possible with the combination of music and electricity. Polyphonic takes an in-depth look at Hendrix and what made him one of the most original musicians ever to take a stage.

Bad Reputation

Before Joan Jett had a number one hit with "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and became a staple of MTV's first wave, she put her dues in leading The Runaways. During the halcyon days of 70s punk, Joan Jett was out to shatter glass ceilings and make her mark in the boys club of the hard rock scene.

Made of Mettle

The Leatherman multi-tool seems ubiquitous now, but before it became a household name, creator Tim Leatherman thought he might never get it to the public.
