    Stevie is my all time favorite so I am biased. Eric gave up his helicopter to Stevie that crashed into the side of the mountain. May he rest in peace. I like Eric, but for style, his playing, and the soul that came out, I would have to say I pick Stevie myself. I am interested to hear what the rest of the family has to say.

    This went from a "Stevie Ray Vaughan or Eric Clapton" thread to after-the-voting-starting-coming-in-to-a-SRV-thread. :shifty:

    I love SRV too, ya know. I really enjoy "Couldn't Stand The Weather"... which you just posted :lol:

    personally, i think stevie blows clapton away. i always thought clapton was overrated. maybe he was something special in the 60s but even then i thought jeff beck blew him away. (jeff beck was one of the most underrated guitarists ever. how jimmy page and clapton got more props then beck is beyond me)

    I mean I like Page and Clapton more than Beck.. I grew up listening to Zeppelin tho.. and I'm not quite sure where the Clapton thing came in but it did.

    My previous statement still stands tho. :shifty:

    That's a tough one. The first concert I ever went to was the overrated Eric Clapton. Unfortunately SRV died before I could see him. I'd have to go with SRV, his music moves me a bit more.

    SRV not even a question IMO. He's the Berninni of the blues...meaning play a bunch of great blues songs back to back and Stevie will stand out...always.....

    They're really apples and oranges, in my opinion. Comparing a blues artist with a rocker isn't fair.

    Not only that, but all due respect to Stevie...alot of his stuff was rehashed Hendrix licks. Still a great player though.

    IMHO:

    Technical ability: Stevie > Eric
    Songwriting: Eric > Stevie

    That's my opinion, too. I voted for SRV in the poll based on guitar skills alone.

    Gimme a Neil Young one-note solo everyday!

    I'm not being contrary for the sake of being contrary. I'd rather listen to a Neil Young solo over any so-called "guitar hero".

    I'm not that familiar with Vaughan I have to admit. I do like Clapton, but was kind of disappointed when I saw him live.
