Kid Cid Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 A hugh catalog to choose from with lots of different influences during his career, however I have to say that one of his lesser known tracks off of Slowhand makes me want to boogie every time I hear it.

skylive5 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 For sky, bed at 0100 and up by 0300 A lot closer than one might believe. Especially these days. And Layla is 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I guess it's corny, but "tears in heaven" is a pretty darn good song. I like "after midnight" quite a bit, but I'd sooner hear JJ Cale's original than Clapton's cover. same deal with "I shot the sheriff". Layla is a great song too. another one I like is one he did with steve winwood called "in the presence of the lord" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 is this solo or with bands? I was thinking solo. I'm not sure why it would make a difference. If your song by Clapton is from a band or solo it is still your favorite by him right? I am sure there is some subtle reasoning there that I am missing because I pretty much look at the artist and not the supporting cast.

I'm thinking that both Cream and Blind Faith were more than just Clapton, no matter how great his influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Well, yes and no. I'm thinking that both Cream and Blind Faith were more than just Clapton, no matter how great his influence. Well in that case..... Derek was more Duane that Clapton too. I guess I can see your point... but to me Cream was a bass and drums backing up Clapton really....even though Bruce and Baker were definite stars. (Ginger Baker.... a personal favorite.) Either way....breaking it up or combining.... my choice would be After Midnight no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) As great as they were, when I hear most of his biggest hits (eg Layla, Cocaine, etc), I turn the channel. So overplayed. But I still really like Bell Bottom Blues and Forever Man. Also Peaches and Diesel and am probably one of the few who thinks the newer version of After Midnight was better.

Hugh 0ne Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Too many to list, especially if you include Cream, Derek and the Dominos, Blind Faith, Yardbirds, John Mayall's Blues Breakers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
