    I haven't heard many Cream songs, so I got to ask, is Clapton really that good? I always hear people saying how good he is, but thats all, just hearsay. I suppose you can't really tell from his new stuff. If he is, which songs/albums should I check out, that display his prowess?

    Also a side not: my friend watched the Page and Plant tour a few years back (well quite some time ago now), and he said the drugs have taken its toll on Page, his playing is nowhere close to where it used to be, and seeing him in interviews is painful. He looks almost dim-witted and slurred his speech, hard to believe this guy was the mastermind and brains behind Led Zep.
