My favorite CD, is a compilation album of classic rock music from the legendary Eric Clapton. Released in 1995, The Cream of Clapton strings together a great collection of songs from the various groups that Mr. Clapton has been apart of. From the first song, I Feel Free (1966) shouts the general theme of the time. Many of the songs on this CD made Clapton the house hold name that he is and inspired the writting of "Clapton is God" on city walls in England.

Songs like Layla, After Midnight, Sunshine of Your Love, Wonderful Tonight, and Cocaine have inspired many of today's guitar thrashers and smashers. One song I really enjoy in particular, is Bell Bottom Blues (1970) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3X1uNSku-I) I'm not exactly sure why I like this song, but there's just something about a break up song that makes me smile. As for now, the songs on this album are played the most in my car, and I hope to never tire of them.
