Funny and ireverrent, DM!
As for Clapton or Beck… maybe it needs a separate thread, but to kick off, both have immense back catalogues and have both been influential in the development of rock/pop. For me, Beck is perhaps more inventive and original but sometimes this comes at the expense of feeling/expression (though not in the hypnotic clip above). I often hear too much ‘noodling’ and virtuosity in his playing. On the other hand, as well as being perhaps the greatest guitarist, Clapton also sings and composes very well, the exception being his sentimental ballads eg Wonderful Tonight (too sickly I think).
