EC scores five songs in The Rolling Stone Greatest Songs of All Time:

Artist                            Song                                Top 500 Ranking      Chart Ranking

Clapton                        "Tears in Heaven"                 353                       2
Cream                          "Sunshine of Your Love"          65                       5
Cream                          "White Room"                       367                       6
Cream                          "Crossroads"                        409                      28
Derek and the Dominos    "Layla"                                 27                      10

Hard to believe these songs (excluding "Tears....") didn't chart higher upon release.  "Layla" barely cracked the top ten and "Crossroads" peaked at #28?   

Excited British DJ John Peel, preparing to spin "Crossroads" said, "If you thought Eric Clapton was human, you'd better listen to this...."
