Hopefully, with an interesting reason.
Eric Clapton.
Clapton is a decent guitarist. About on par with the better guys in your local. area. Nothing against that.
My beef, is that he's known for other people's work, or cover songs. Here's a small list.
Crossroads: Robert Johnson
Cocaine: jj Cale
After midnight: jj Cale
Sunshine of your love: Jack Bruce
White room: Jack Bruce
Knocking on heavens door: Dylan
I shot the sheriff: Marley
Then there is Layla. Co-written with the drummer(who later killed his mother). Duane Allman wrote the guitar riff. The only tune he had a hand in, was about stealing another man's wife(George Harrison). Well, that sucks.
*For the record. Not throwing away the cream albums, and he was pretty good on gently weeps...
