They're considered classics but you don't see why...

"Layla"

I cannot stand that whiny guitar riff, and the song drags on for 7 freaking minutes. Now, before you Eric Clapton fans eat me alive, please keep in mind that "Sunshine Of Your Love" and "White Room" are 2 of my favourite songs ever recorded.


🤣

Luckily for me I'm too young and my parents really aren't the classic rock types (more hippie), so the 7 minute version I was spared from. I agree it's pretty terrible.

But I did get into music in the 90s, so the acoustic version is what I heard first and I actually dig it. Yes it doesn't have the "amazing guitar" part, but is by far a much better arrangement of the song (imo). Actually I like this unplugged album more than any other Clapton album. His voice sounds better with these arrangements. I don't think he's that great of a blues singer (blasphemy?)...

Funny enough I absolutely adore Sunshine and White Room... but they actually are more attributed to Jack Bruce than Clapton according to wikipedia.

Most classics actually make perfect sense to me, but that likely means I see classics differently.

To me, the classics are often the bread and butter of music. It's the easy to digest, yet emotionally and mentally captivating.

To a electronic music geek, Stockhausen is a classic. But I'd disagree. Pivotal and great and important, but not classic as not bread and butter.

The only real version of Layla is the original 7 minute one and the 4 minute piano outro is the best part.

Exactly, Whenever I turn on the radio and hear the end portion of layla, I am very happy about it.
