Clapton kicks so much fucking ass. In my opinion he was never better than when he was with Derek and the Dominoes. What sucks is that nobody ever talks about DD. I was a huge fan of cream for quite a while and listened to a lot of his new stuff and only just recently found out about DD.
Yeah, you gotta love Derek and the Dominos. The interplay between Clapton and Duane Allman is fantastic. Duane actually taught Clapton slide guitar btw. It's too bad they only made one album together.
Another album (cd) for Clapton fans to check out is Roger Waters-The Prose and Cons of Hitchiking. This was Waters first album after he left Pink Floyd and he got Clapton to play guitar on it. My guess is that he figured any guitarist he had would instantly be compared to Gilmore so he'd just get one that was generally recognized as being better. One song in particular, Sexual Revolution, really has some outstanding guitar work by Clapton.
For some really mellow guitar, that still kicks ass, check out the soundtrack from the movie Rush. It's a great Clapton cd to put on when you just want to kick back and chill.
clapton is at his best when hes with blind faith in my opinion... i cant believe no one mentioned them

Clapton is the cleanest guitarist ever.
Rarely missed a note even through his heroin, cocaine and alcohol addictions.
Derek & The Dominos, "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs".
layla and cocaine are great songs
hey euphoric not everybody likes to slit their wrists to emo music. :D
