Kvinto said:Two great songs: the first became the most famous biker's song and was covered numerous times, while the second with it's ambiguous lyrics (Eric Clapton describes it as an anti-drug song but you still may hear what you want to) and thrilling riff became one of the best songs by one of the all-time greatest guitarists:
Steppenwolf - Born to be wild
Eric Clapton - Cocaine

Kvinto said:as well as "I Shot the Sheriff" is Bob Marley song. but what is common between these two songs is the fact that cover versions (by EC) were more popular than the original
edit:
Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff
Eric Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff
redtreviso said:True but popularity doesn't make EC telling what it is about or the sound of the guitar licks his. The JJ Cale version was popular enough that EC should have left it alone. I am sure there are Bob Marley fans who feel the same way about I shot the sheriff
redtreviso said:Reminds me of people saying.. "don't let it bring you down" is the best song Annie Lennox ever wrote..
