Listen new Clapton album
Carlitos
Tenerife

I can't decide if Eric's solo on 'Still got the blues' is better than Gary's or not.....Well, it is Clapton we're talkin here so his must be the better I guess...

Nice album for all Clapton-fans...Thanks for posting it!

I must add also that Eric has never sung better than on this album...

When was the last time rock'n'roll had an earth-shattering record? 1973, maybe?

This could be his best album in a very,very long time. The production sounds
fantastic, no Babyface here.

How about Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell in '79?

What he did to Peter Tosh's "well runs dry" is pretty awful and the rest of the album is very much is big store listening.

Just kidding, it is big store listening. Let's think about Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of life ('78 or 9?)

Last Earth shattering record for rock'n'roll must be the debutalbum from The Strokes, This is it.....I played it day and night day and night for months....

Please folks, there are still amazing records out there...This assertion that the last earth-shattering record came out in 1973 is rather unfounded. Yankee Foxtrot Hotel, High Violet, Before the Frost..., Ok Computer, Funeral...etc...ALl excellent records, in no sense inferior than anything that had come before

Yes, a nice listen but nothing else. Gary Moores own version is I believe miles ahead of Claptons. A rather boring album I must say and I am, used to be, a huge fan.

His live albums, of late, have been excellent, i.e. Live @ Madison Square Garden with Steve Winwood, the Cream reunion, and the gig with Wynton Marsalis. Studio-wise, Clapton was a good(ish) album, but Back Home was horrendous.

i dont know but it sorta kinda sounds like slowhand on auto pilot

Earth-shattering? THAT is the question. Please don't water-down this important debate.

Back Home had maybe a couple of redeemers on it, but yeah,it was the lowpoint of his past couple decades.

The George Harrison cover was excellent, Love Comes to Every One, but then Clapton played on the original from 1979. I like Reptile, and also think Pilgrim is an underrated album. However, Behind The Sun and August are, quite possibly, Clapton's worst ever albums.

An honest mistake, we can let that slide.

I guess Nevermind The Bullocks and London Calling aren't in the running. I mean, without that Sex Pistols album, Some Girls would have sounded like Black and Blue Part 2.

Hmmmm...let's see - are we gonna lump "ground-breaking" together with "earth-shattering" now? I think it's better that we keep the apart for the time-being....

1979/80 - London Calling by the Clash.

See above. The rule book states that you are merely breaking ground, whereas we want to shatter the earth, I mean just blow it ta bits.

Michael Jackson's Thriller?
