And what does the latter of your post mean??

Precisely. I've just always found him to be incredibly boring. Not to mentiont hat my mother drove me ****ing batty with the soundtract to "Rush" just like she did with the bloody Eagles while i was growing up. I won't comment on his guitar playing because I'm not an expert and I'd look like a fool, but his actual music just leaves me cold.

Also because dots are for nerds, and I'm a nerd who uses dots, and nerds should be banned, so I should be banned.

I'm no expert either, I know he's a good guitar player, I just think his playing sounds boring and predictable, I don't like the sound of his guitar, and like you said, it leaves me cold. Cream was a great band, I'll give him that much.

I can definitely see that. Actually, now that I think about it, most of his music has been pretty horribly boring and MOR since the early 70s. (Remember that damn song with Babyface from that John Travolta telekinesis movie?)

Most of his stuff up through Derek and the Dominoes is pretty great, though. (And he can still kick some ass in concert when he wants to, too.)

I like your mother's taste in music, I admit.
