Eric Clapton is another artist that uses a lot of guitar. Perhaps his greatest hit was with the band Cream, "Sunshine of Your Love." Its got an interesting repeating vocals, and a catchy guitar riff and some heavy drums and bass, then rockign chorus repeating the title of the song.

My favorite Clapton song is a great song for partying and enjoying one's limited time on this rock. It discusses an interesting stimulant one can use to party all night while drinking like a whale perhaps "Cocaine"
