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?

Most of his popular songs that you hear the radio dont have anywhere near his best guitar work in them. Check out some of his live stuff like 24 nights. The solo in Old Love is geat as or many others on the 2nd disc.

If you can get ahold of that old double album "History of Eric Clapton", that's a real good one...all of his best Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and early solo stuff.

1) Conrad Keeley from ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
2) Jimi "God" Hendrix
3) Johnny Greenwood (I must add that a lot of lines that people think are played by Johnny are played by the other guy, Ed. Just giving credit where it's due.)
4) Tom Morello
5) Stephen Carpenter

Perhaps, but Johnny looks cooler when he plays. Head down, bangs covering his eyes...he just looks cooler.

Wes Montgomery is the creme-ala-creme, but there are plenty I can think of that merit amongst the greatest on the instrument. B.B. King, Robert Johnson, Jerry Reed, Blind Willie McTell, Son House, Jimi Hendrix, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Steve "the Colonel" Cropper, Chet Atkins, Dick Dale and countless others. I'll have to page through my CD collection to get a more complete list.
