Cream was a great band, but the rest of Calptons career is mediocre at best. I will agree that he is one of the most overrated musicians of all time.

While I agree that Clapton's later work is "overrated", there was a time when that guy could wail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDmMWF83x4

I love this dual between him and Robbie Robertson from The Last Waltz. Great Rock and Roll moment at the .48 second mark when Clapton's strap fails and Robbie picks up the lead. Great stuff.
