    Clapton is good, but he ain't no Fogerty.

    Only a fool would attempt it, and God help me I am that fool.

    Dude don't chastise ME your OP said *ALL* Eric Clapton fans it didn't discriminate against those fans' opinions and if you don't want others' opinions on your thread, then simply don't post it capeche?

    For the record, I have been a guitar player since House Of The Rising Sun was No. 1 on the radio. I have honed my chops to GOD KNOWS how many Clapton licks ok? My style of guitar has Clapton's iconic style infused into it to the point I can't even play without paying homage to his playing it just comes out. So I *think* I might know enough about his huge library of music to voice an opinion on something if I don't like it or it sounds like elevator music. Nobody is perfect, Clapton is NOT God, and he has released SO MUCH BETTER material than this latest folly. You want to hear him at his best? Budokan 1995. You want to hear his worst? Last studio album.

    If a fan on any level the 2018 documentary "Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars" is a must see...

    These guys have been playing good music for so long that it would be odd, and dumb if they didn't stretch the limits of their styles.

    With almost every rock artist or group that I've loved, I loved them best when they were young, less polished, raw, and still possessing that magic that makes them POP!! A few years, and a few albums in, and they lose some of that magic. Some of them change it up a bit, improve their skills, keep working hard, and continue to keep us happy. Clapton is one of those. I haven't liked every single thing that he's done, but I'll keep listening till him or me dies.

    We oughta thank the Lord above for providing so many great rock (and country) stars to provide music for us for the generation that most of us come from. Who would have thought that we'd still be listening to so many of them... they didn't all die young. jd
    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    Cream set the bar for blues powerhouse bands, IMO. Amazing that three guys could put out so much sound!

    This has got to be one of the best performances in rock history:

    Cream (Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker)
    Crossroads (Live, 1968)

    The list goes on and on; Fogerty; ZZ Top; Twisted Sister; CCR. Parts of all of them I like.

    I certainly like Fogerty, but Clapton is near the top of the heap. Check out Cream, Blind Faith or Derrick and the Dominoes.

    When I think of Clapton I think of Badge.
