Eric Clapton

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

David Gilmour

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour is no doubt an important member of the band. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Pink Floyd took their transformative sound from their roots as a blues/folk band and turned it into an acid rock genre that no other band could match. The albums Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall, still sell millions of copies each year as new fans of the band emerge.
