Angus rocks.
IMO, Clapton is far from a technical whiz and hasn't done anything worth listening to since the Layla sessions. While I could live without his Yardbirds work, what he did during his time with Mayall-Cream-Blind Faith is undeniably brilliant.
If you don't get the Clapton thing, go listen to his 'Hideaway' cover on John Mayall's Beano album. If you still don't get it, listen to the Live Cream stuff. If that doesn't do it for you then listen to the Jams CD from the Layla Sessions. If you don't get it after that, then you are hopelessly tone deaf and have no taste
