What he said, but I'll go a step further and say that I LOATHE Clapton with every fiber of my being. Is that dramatic enough?

Bonnie Raitt is one cool chica .

Eric Clapton, great guitar player, I have a couple of his albums while I don't know much of Bonnie Raitt. So he's my choice.

I went with the Angel from Montgomery. She's a survivor and, like Stevie, is as relevant today as she was 30 years ago.

I was going to say that I hated Clapton, but I didn't want to invite the wrath of ChiliD.

Where's all the Clapton hatred coming from? I can see being indifferent towards him, or maybe having a mild distaste for him, but I had no idea so many people loathed the guy.

Because I can't stand his boring, generic music and I think he's an overrated and (dare I say?) limited guitar player. And this **** about him being a "bluesman" is just laughable to me. Sorry if I offend, but I calls it like I sees it.

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.

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.
