Eric Clapton

As a fan of Cream and The Yardbirds I respectfully disagree with your opinion.

Now, it's true he got boring later on in his career...........

I'll take Blackmore over any of them with the possible exception of Beck, honestly.

I just can't stand his singing voice, its boring as hell.

I don't even hate him/Cream/Yardbirds/etc, that's what's so maddening about him, he's just so borderline interesting that I keep listening and hoping it'll click more.

His music was so boring, even his son killed himslef so he wouldn't have to hear it.

The Layla album is /mu/ kino tho

but maybe that was cuz of Duane

It seems like Clapton gives his best when he is playing with other great players, like in Cream or during the Layla sessions.
After he got obsessed with playing the blues, however, it seems that he stopped trying to be the innovator or simply the musician of his early days: the music is still well crafted, some of it is really good, but overall it's not essential unless you're a fan.
Maybe he also suffers from the "Seinfeld is unfunny"-syndrome, or in this case, the "Clapton is not creative"-syndrome, where whenever you listen to him you have a hard time finding something that hasn't been done by someone else later, even though it's Clapton who originated it, which ultimately is a testament to Clapton's greatness.

Same poster here, here's a joke for ya: What do Clapton and coffee have in common?

They both suck without Cream.

What's the difference between a toddler and a bag of cocaine?

Eric Clapton wouldn't have let a bag of cocaine fall out of a five story window!

When you consider that one of Cream's first singles is The Coffee Song that joke is even funnier.
