I'm not categorically saying all solos are masturbatory, I'm specifically talking about Eric Clapton.

^Many decades ago, Clapton was considered THE BLUES SOLOIST, so when you knock him, many people are going to believe your criticizing all soloists. Personally, I like "I Shot the Sheriff" and dig the groovy soulful style, and on hindsight, see it as another variation for EC's style. I think, back in 74' he would have been instrumental in helping Bob Marley breakout big in the US, which was a good thing.

Well that would certainly be a lot to infer from my comments that's for sure.

Fair enough. You must hate B.B. King.

I'm kind of ambivalent about him.

That's how I feel about David Gilmour.

making a face like you're taking a realllllly long dump and liking it != blues greatness.
Key points on why I hate Clapton. He has to be the whitest man to ever desecrate the sanctity of blues music.

I suppose I'd pick Beck for UK, mainly because I've seen him play live and he's still playing very profoundly. And Hendrix for US, because I frankly couldn't care less whom I pick out of those 3...

Id choose Paul Kossoff! haha though I change my mind all the time, absoloutley love early Clapton particularily his work with Cream while I prefer Becks later stuff, however I would probaly consider Jimmy page the best songwriter out of all of them ;)
