I think people who consider Jimi Hendrix overrated have probably heard Foxy Lady & Purple Haze too many times.

A couple weeks ago I had Band of Gypsies blaring out in the garage... I literally had to stop what I was doing and sit down. Amazing stuff. I have a Hendrix blues compilation with some fantastic acoustic stuff too.

As for Clapton, I agree his later stuff is pretty tame and hollow. But I challenge anyone to name a better version of Crossroads than Cream's. Another "stop what you're doing" tune.
