I got imprinted on Cream so while I never worshipped Clapton, his brand of wank seemed natural and flowing - intergral to the vibe. I prefer Zeppelin to DP too. More heart and soul (maybe not that much soul lol...) that personified heavy rock. Page was da man those first 4 albums. Interestingly, Hendrix didn't do much for me but I can relate a little more nowadays. starting to ramble lol...
