i pretty much love everything he does, but blues licks give me a boner and he's the king of em. i kinda like his voice too, the way he sings 'alberta' on unplugged is awesome. i get why people find him repetitive, but when he's repeating what i love, i'm in.
he's pretty hit or miss as a song writer, but 'layla' is probably one of the greatest songs ever. his voice during the chorus is absolutely amazing, u can hear how much pain he's in over loving this woman.
my limited knowledge of his work makes me appreciate stuff he did while in Cream, Derek and the Dominoes and his unplugged album (Tears in Heaven is a very moving song and i prefer the unplugged version to the studio one), his appearance on While my Guitar Gently Weeps and Harrison's Cloud Nine (i've never heard the Live in Japan album) and Roger Waters' Pros and Cons are all pretty decent if not excellent. his reggae period and most of his MOR output are boring as hell though. one still got to salute a guy who made it this far without a chin

Allman wrote the guitar hook and I always thought somebody else sang the lead on it. Wikipedia says he sang on it. Is there another big Clapton related tune that's sang by one of his bandmates?
A legend no doubt, but he's definitely not the greatest writer. A big knock for me when discussing the greatest guitar players.
