I can understand where clapton can be considered overrated. But not when he was with Cream. He was at his very best with Cream and I know his guitar work on classics like the live version of Crossroads, Sunshine of Your Love, White Room, Outside Woman Blues, and others have inspired me just as much as Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend or any other of those gods.
However CLAPTON IS NOT GOD!!!!!!
