I've listened to several Stevie Ray Vaughan songs now, and I have got to say I admire the intensity in his playing. Also, his songs seems to be interesting all the way through - a thing I wouldn't say about, for instance Clapton's Bellbottom Blues.

Playing-wise, Clapton has got many things I like a lot, but all in all, at this point, I would choose mr. Vaughan, even if many of his songs is Hendrix covers. As long as he plays great, I don't mind.
