As we all know, folks, Eric Clapton is the man. Give me the name of his really good songs. I mean, really good songs.

Good guitarring is necessary.

I've already got "Bad Love" and "Layla", both which are superb.
I dunno if my version of Layla is a diff version from the original or something, as it's around 7 mins long, and towards the the 3rd min, goes all piano'y.

Danke schon, really.

Oh, it is.

I'm not a huge fan, hence this topic.
I'm only just beginning to get really interested in his particular music.
And yes, I detected the sarcasm.

Cheers for all the suggestions, everyone.

That was a stupid poll. The Total Guitar one was better, he got rated 3rd. 1st was Hendrix, 2nd Page. EVH was 7th. Kirk Hammett was 8th.

He has done a lot of really good stuff. I'd just pick a random album of his and see if you like it.

The guy from Busted prolly about number 2? And Slash at about 96 I'd say.

Eric Clapton is ultimatly the man.

But seeing Im spain obsessed santana for any type of guitar rocks... But seeing you like rock that might not be your thang!

And what the hell was Kurt Cobain doing in 12th?

Rolling Stone magazine is stupid.

Haven't heard any of his music, but he was rated as the 4th best guitarist ever by Rolling Stone magazine.

In comparrison, Jimi Hendrix was 1st, Kirk Hammet 11th, Kurt Cobain 12th, Jack White 18th, Eddie van Halen 70th, Tony Iommi 86th and Angus Young 98th.

Well, for not really exceptional guitar but memorable enough melody, Wonderful Tonight.
