102. Eric Clapton - Slowhand (last listen: 2-5 years) - Aside from the several classics ("Cocaine," "Wonderful Tonight," "Lay Down Sally") on this one, I'm a big fan of "The Core."
103. Eric Clapton - Journeyman (last listen: 2-5 years) - This is an up-and-down album. Some of the songs are solid ("Pretending," "Bad Love," "No Alibis," and "Before You Accuse Me," which is my favorite song on the album), but others are kind of too slow.
104. Eric Clapton - Unplugged (last listen: 2-5 years) - Great Unplugged album. Obviously "Tears In Heaven" is heart wrenching (as you probably know, it was written after his four-year-old son fell from a 53rd-story high-rise window to his death. The acoustic version of "Layla" is okay. I've never liked it as much as the original. "Alberta" is one of Jessie's favorites, and "Rollin' and Tumblin'" is a good song no matter what.
105. Eric Clapton - Pilgrim (last listen: 5+ years) - Milquetoast
106. Eric Clapton - Crossroads Disc 1 (last listen: 1-2 years) - This disc covers the Yardbirds, Mayall & Clapton, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and some Cream. "Steppin' Out" from the Cream years is a great instrumental.
107. Eric Clapton - Crossroads Disc 2 (last listen: 1-2 years) - This disc covers more Cream, Blind Faith, Delany & Bonnie, some early solo stuff, and some Derek & The Dominos. The fast version of the Dominos' "Tell the Truth" is my favorite one of this disc.
