Yeah, nice take Madisonears. I'm a huge Clapton fan, always have been but I must admit I lose patience with the pop stuff, I mean Babyface-come on!!! With the work he's done in the past who would've thunk It! I think the last really good album he did IMO is Journeyman. I caught that tour twice and it was good. Behind the Cradle is pretty good too but it sucks sonically. At the same time, being an artist means creativity and a lot of times that means new - so I respect some of the stuff he's doing but I can't listen to most of it. I can't listen to more than 10 seconds of Tears in Heaven despite his message. But look at the Stones - after Exile and arguably the greatest 4 albums in rock and roll history and back to back no less, it's been hit and miss ever since. How many great songs can you write - compare Sympathy for the Devil, Jumpin Jack Flash, and Gimme Shelter just to name 3 out of a possible what, 30 classics, to the current closer "Out of control" not bad but......
