Eric Clapton

One of the greatest guitarists ever, Eric Clapton still is rocking. He is so great that he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES. That still stands as the record for most times to be inducted into the Rock Hall.

Clapton started with the Yardbirds, an old blues rock group out of Britain. The group was mildly successful for the period that Clapton was with them. Clapton left the group in 1965. The next major band that he was a part of was Cream, which he joined the next year. He made more success with them, producing "Sunshine of Your Love (#5) and "Crossroads, which has the #10 guitar solo of all time according to Guitar World. Cream broke up in 1968, and Clapton's next endeavor was with Derek and the Dominoes, which produced a classic with "Layla". Clapton went solo and made some more hits, including "After Midnight", "Blues Power", and "Let it Rain". Clapton got addicted to drugs. After coming clean, he released 461 Ocean Boulevard in Miami. This album went #1, along with his cover (remake) of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff". Clapton made some more minor endeavors after that, but he still keeps rocking.
