I'm saving Page for a Jimmy Page vs Steve Howe poll.

i don't really listen to any of them but i can tell you for certain Eric Clapton is one of the most boring guitarists i've had the misfortune to hear. his playing conjures up images of aging bluesmen sitting in a rocking chair still sticking to the guns they proudly wear as if to say "look at what i've done here, still playing the same licks forty years later."

insanely overrated as a guitarist and unimaginably boring to listen to.

except for pretty much everything he did in cream and / or any band setting that wasn't listed as his name.

but yeah clapton as a solo artist is far beyond boring.

no, i think pretty much everything he did was terrible. Cream, Yardbirds, Blind Faith were all pretty bad. i haven't heard John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, can't comment on that. only Derek and the Dominoes really has any redeeming qualities, and that could easily be attributed to Duane Allman's participation in the group.

i get fairly aggravated at all the crap floating around that still puts him on some ridiculous pedestal. i don't find his work remotely intriguing.

And thus I'm now reminded about how I never agree with you on anything music related.

Cream >>>>>>>>>> You.

This is one of your dumbest posts ever.

I understand it's your opinion, but no fan of the genre would ever agree. You sound clueless.

how so?

because i don't share your enthusiasm for outdated dad rock that somehow makes me a philistine? there are others here who share my sentiments about Eric Clapton, i don't understand how my distaste for his music makes it any less relevant.

perhaps i should leave this conversation where it is, you people seem to have difficulty extracting the objectivity of a person's opinions. fuck do i care if you agree with me.
