    Can't say I warmed to him as an individual but somewhat unique as a drummer. Just Clapton left now from probably one of the most accomplished rock threesome (with the possible exception of the Jimi Hendrx Experience) of all time.

    RIP
    I would respectfully say that Cream were a better band than the Jimi Hendrix Experience, as all three in Cream were absolute top class musicians (hence the name of the band), but music is art and not a competition, so let's not argue about that.

    It seems strange to say rest in peace when talking about Mr Baker, but anyway, RIP.

    Agree mate!
    Take a listen to Stormy Monday from their reunion gig in 05 .
    Yes Clapton’s vocal and playing are exceptional but listen to what baker is playing!
    Outstanding, Hendrix and his lot would have never got close to this....
