Great song and career as well but as a guitarist ive always thought Clapton was a bit overrated.

Cream and Deep Purple, in concert in San Diego, closed out the 1960's for me.

"Sunshine of Your Love" was one of the wall-shatteringly original songs that still echo today.
(I think it arrived on the airwaves about the same time as Jimi Hendrix).
Wasn't all this around '68? Maybe '67 . . .? (I'm old, I forget details).

(personally, I always liked that Cream cut: "Tales of Brave Ulysses"
probably has something to do with why I like Enya and Loreena McKennet
or McKennit . . . like I said: I don't get lost in the details . . . that I can still remember. =)

The "deep blue ripples of the tissues o' my mind" ain't what they used t' be . . . =)
It was "tissues" . . . right? Not windmills? =)

btw: if Cream--specifically Eric Clapton--had been a better guitar picker
and Jack Bruce a better bass player
and Ginger Baker a better drummer
maybe they could have played at the Royal Albert Hall
rather than the Robert Albert Hall =)

Of course, at the Royal Albert Hall,
they probably would have snooted at
too much wah-way pedal
and not enough cowbell. =)

Thanks, again, Mr. Ragsdale. No kidding.

If you include Jeff Beck (and a couple of other guys with guitars), I'd have to agree with your observation.
Thankfully, you included the qualifier, "a bit" [overrated] . . . =)
