Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is God. -Or at least that’s what the graffiti scrawled once declared on London houses. Eric Clapton is the first three-time inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a member of The Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and The Dominos. Clapton has won 18 Grammys, and more than 100 million albums have been sold worldwide.

David Gilmour

Gilmour was a member of Pink Floyd. He is generally regarded as one of all time’s greatest guitarists. Pink Floyd took his transformative sound from his blues/folk group origins and transformed the group into an acid rock genre that no other band could touch. The albums Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall, still sell millions of copies each year as new fans of the band emerge.
