Do me a favour.....I dont believe you, I just think you dont like the pop I had at vai.....even though it was tongue-in-cheek.
Gilmour and Clapton are by far two of the most tastful and influential players of the last 30 - 40 years. Thats not a point against any other guitarist - just at how objectively real your perception is....
Art is art and in the mind of the listener....but....sales are sales...and peer-recognition counts a lot too...

Clapton is a man all to trapped by his own 'signature' licks.
He does have a good solo, you know, the one he plays every song
Clapton also stopped making art pretty much when cream ended, after that it was just more blues (to clarify pop music is never art, it is something different, business).
In all seriousness I ignored you (as I know you are screwing around), and would much rather get tips from Will Ray than Clapton anyday.

I make my grilled cheeses with organic multigrain bread (from the Serbian bakery down the street) brushed with olive oil and a filling of sundries tomatoes and aged cheddar (or whatever cheese is handy). One can live large on grilled cheese.

I've made the same point as you a number of times myself elsewhere here - and yes - futillity is the word that springs to mind. However, for my part I personally only pointed out why the particular arguments made above do not work in relation to EC. I never once argued that EC was 'better' than WR.....because as you rightly note - its futile and pointless.

I never said he was better, I said I would like to sit down and chat with him a lot more. Careful reading what you want vs what I said. The best players are not the most creative players necessarily. Creativity is a token of musicianship, playing is a extension of being a player. Players and musicians are not always the same thing. Lets look, for example, at someone extreme. Michael Angelo Batio is an amazing guitar player, but one of the worst musicians you will ever hear.

Where do you go when you want to discover new music that plays to what you already love while opening your mind to unexplored new territories?

I just got this great new Michael Angelo Batio album where he Steve Vai and Will Ray do covers of Eric Clapton solos. It's produced by Geddy Lee and John Mayall. They're all huddled together, naked, on the sleeve.
