February 8, 200916 yr I liked the Yardbirds and Cream, but the only Eric Clapton solo stuff I rate is "Layla" and " I shot the sheriff", hated all his other slow sentimental stuff.
February 9, 200916 yr pretty much in line with brian, although his yardbird era was over before they got much chart success. HATED i shot the sherrif though. think clapton demonstrates clearly the 'getting old and boring' effect.
February 9, 200916 yr To me he is another Rod Stewart, brilliant early stuff but got progressively crap from the late 70's onwards Loved Clapton's early stuff with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream and Derek and The Dominoes but the solo stuff it would need 1 hand to count the number of songs have liked since the 461 Ocean Boulevard album with the exception of his recent collaboration with JJ Cale Edited February 9, 200916 yr by B.A Baracus
