Fuck this guy. Just stay in the background and don’t play a solo and don’t sing anything.

Sorry. Play a solo but don’t say anything. You are allowed to play a solo. Otherwise shut the fuck up

With any artist with 10+ hits, usually there are one or two I can enjoy. Original "Layla" is the closest I get with Clapton, which is fine if overplayed, and it gets much worse from there. "Wonderful Tonight", "Tears in Heaven", and his version of "I Shot the Sheriff" are among my least favorite popular songs ever

No, THIS is his worst nineties hit.

I’ll still rep for Blidn Faith ‘s “had to cry”

I like the acoustic Layla a lot, the guitar solo is good

I like to pretend that Clapton miraculously disappeared from the planet shortly after the release of the Derek and The Dominos record. Yeah, in my mind he was another tragic addition to the "27 Club" and went missing after those sessions for a second Dominos album collapsed.

His latest song I like is "Promises" from 1978, unfortunately released two years after his racist rant.

Clapton to Lars: "Hold my non-alcoholic beer."

"my father's eyes" is the first clapton i ever remember hearing. my instant reaction was "wtf, this guy is famous?" still kind of have that gut reaction to hearing his name even tho i like the yardbirds, cream, and a couple of derek & dominos songs.

that song is basically Clapton saying "I want to beat mike and the mechanics at their own game" a decade too late instead of taking inspiration from chicago blues or jj cale or w/e.

I remember some DJ running down the top 40 when buzzcocks had hit with "Promises" but played the wrong record

Good thing he didn't change "Lay Down Sally" back to "Orgasm Addict".
