That post of yours is way over the top. And, I'm not a huge Clapton fan. Still, my collection would be lessened without my Cream and my Blind Faith. I love a few of his solo albums and I love his contributions to Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking. And, BTW, the guy has his own style and sound. He's not just some talented copycat. He's broken plenty of ground.
