Heck, the majority of my top 5 current favorites rotate in and out of Clapton's touring band... and they probably list him as a huge influence (and I'd be hugely influenced by that kind of money).

There's just something about Clapton that irritates the shiat out of me. I can't put my finger on it. Oh well... rant over.
Well, that live cover Clapton did of JJ Cale's "Cocaine" that "Concert at Buddakhan" or whatever it was called, that was some pretty awesome to me.
