^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.
