I like Blind Faith but more from the Winwood angle than the Clapton and yes whatever combination of lusting for his buddies wife and heroin got the most passionate performances of his career out of him with Derek and the Dominoes that completely evaporated once he got her. Then decades of boring blues rock. I'll admit I have some nostalgic value for those boring songs since when I was 10 I thought songs like It's in The Way That You Use It was fire. As an adult yeah they aren't very good but there are still times when those generic songs come on I can become 10 years old for 3-4 mins before coming to my senses.

Wonderful tonight and pretending are his only good songs for me

He's a cunt, but Cream was good. So was the Beano album.
