"Dad rock" - next step Dire Straits

I totally agree with Folsom.
'Rock' for guys in suits driving in their company cars.
Nothing of Eric here after 'John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton'.
I was cured of his stuff by too many people going around pronouncing he was 'God' some time back in the 1970s. (And then seeing John Martyn at a live gig.)

Well in excess of 120 million album sales for Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler obviously proves that the 40-something generation have more money than taste!
I personally think they went off the boil later on - I'd rather poke my eyes out than listen to "Walk of Life"
, but the earlier albums, particularly their self-titled debut album are, in my (humble) opinion, very good.
BTW I wasn't even born when their first album was released!

I think this is a superb release. Some of Clapton's more recent stuff has been a bit bland, but this takes him back to what he does best - proper bluesy rock - and Winwood's still ranks as one of the most soulful voices in rock music IMO.
I don't think Clapton is God though. There are many guitarists that are just as good in different ways. My personal favourites include:
Martin Barre (Jethro Tull)
John Martyn
Richard Thompson
John Lees (BJH)
Neil Young
Ralph McTell
Bert Jansch
John Renbourn
