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.

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

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.

Except the Slowhand album is really good. I do agree that just about the rest of his solo stuff is hella boring. But whatever, he's still a great guitarist for Cream alone.

For me, preference wise.

Page > Hendrix > Beck > Clapton > Vaughn >>>>>>>>>> Gibbons.

Not a big ZZ Top fan.

I have to put Hendrix at the top even above Page and Clapton is above Beck for me to. Clapton's solo stuff is better even if Beck was better with the Yardbirds

I actually like Beck's solo stuff more than The Yardbirds.

Blow by Blow is a classic fusion album. He also played for Stevie Wonder and appeared on Talking Book, which people sometimes forget.

Did you know Stevie Wonder wrote some of the tracks on Blow by Blow and plays keyboard on them?

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.
