Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

Clapton had great respect for Peter Green. I heard him talk about Peter Green in an interview many years ago.

We can argue over some of the stuff Clapton has done over the years but his couple of years with Cream were historic. I was at the Winterland concert the weekend Crossroads and Spoonful were recorded at the Fillmore for Wheels of Fire. They remain the finest live blues/rock recordings ever made. The band brought blues/rock to a level that's never really been equaled even by Led Zepplin or any others since. The great Peter Green deserves further discussion but I've run out of space.

what is the best peter green cd to start with? does he have a retrospective sampler available? would one start with a live or studio selection.? thanks

Get the Bluesbreaker's "Hard Road" which has Peter Green replacing Clapton on guitar [excellent] or a couple of the first Fleetwood Mac recordings with Green on guitar. All are easily available on CD. The 'middle period" Fleetwood Macs without Green were surprisingly good. You might check them out while your at it. Avoid the later Stevey Nicks based Macs even though the band was hugely popular at the time and even to this day iconic to many ears.

thanks
