mbrachman: The Core IS an excellent song and performance, and I’m not sure if it’s really his most fiery, explosive song of his (solo) career, but just the fact that it could even be considered in such a way speaks to just how BORING a solo career he has had. A lot of quality stuff and he’s a great guitarist but just so low key... some of it is really close to easy listening. And it seems he’s capable of exciting music if Cream and Layla are any indication, but some of his solo stuff is just downright dull.
@force263 Agree. In the '80s, he took one of his greatest songs (one of the great anthems of classic rock), "Layla," and turned it into a boring acoustic ballad. Well, anything for $, I guess; that seemed to be his guiding principle in the '80s- a period when he almost made obnoxious beer commercials for the Superbowl-watching set.
