re: What are your top Clapton songs?

I must admit, I like a lot of his covers. One I rarely see mentioned is Before You Accuse Me. But I like every version of that song, Bo Diddley and CCR are the others I know of. Interestingly enough, the song was a B side of a single for both Bo Diddley and Eric Clapton. No single for CCR, album only.
I have a really hard time deciding which I like best. Layla is always up there.
I love Cream but Jack Bruce's vocals is as big a part of why as is Clapton. I did a dive to see which songs Clapton sang lead on, he sang lead vocal on ‘Four Until Late’, ‘Outside Woman Blues’, ‘Strange Brew’, ‘Anyone for Tennis’, ‘Crossroads’ and ‘Badge’, and was co-lead vocal on ‘Sunshine of Your Love’. ‘Strange Brew’, ‘Anyone for Tennis’, ‘Crossroads’, ‘Badge’, and ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ are all great songs to me.
Tears in Heaven is hard for me to listen to. It's a powerful song but, as a father, it just rips me up inside. I guest that is an indication of how good that song is.
Wonderful tonight, beautiful song.
Dang I just like Clapton

I saw Clapton in Austin in September. I knew going in that the setlist was heavy on blues/light on hits.
I am sure hard core blues fans loved it, but I would have loved to hear Rock and Roll Heart or Bell Bottom Blues,

I always considered Wonderful Tonight to be the musical equivalent of a chick flick.

1. The almost 25 minute long Eyesight to the Blind/Why Does Love Got to be so Sad jam with Carlos Santana from Providence, Rhode Island in 1975 on his Crossroads 2 boxed set.
2. Let It Rain
3. Got to Get Better in a Little While

Eric Clapton must have liked him some Don Williams.

Crossroads.
Saw him do it live and damn did he burn it up.

Before You Accuse Me. (I know it’s not “his”)
He did I Shot the Sheriff in Houston last year. His solo shut everyone up from chatter and drinking to hollering and slack jawed. He’s old now. It’s like he saves it all up for one during a show.

Have you ever listened to Layla and other assorted love songs? From your list, I do not think you have.

Apparently you can’t read or didn’t read my list
Posted on 6/11/22 at 6:50 pm to sms151t
I read your list and just bc Layla is on it doesn’t mean you’ve listen to the entire album. I would venue to say most people who know Layla, don’t know the album.
Much better songs on that album than the headliner. Anyday jams

Surprised I didn’t see anyone say Old Love until the post before me. I’ll add Edge of Darkness as well to the list of unmentions

Bell Bottom Blues
Tulsa Time
Pretending
Layla because everytime I hear it I picture dead guys in a dumpster and Tommy Carbone hanging from a meat hook in a freezer and kids coming up on a dead couple in a Cadillac....way to go Jimmy/Tommy!!!!!

I love listening to Bobby Whitlock sing out on that one.
Hear ya. Soulful. Whitlock (who IMO didn't get enough credit for Layla) was as much responsible for it being an epic album as was Clapton.
