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.
