Song #276: "Pretending"--Eric Clapton (1989)

A later Clapton hit, this song didn't fare well on the Billboard Hot 100, but did very, very well at rock radio. And, occasionally, you can still run across the song today on classic rock formatted stations.

The quick piano solo opening is fantastic, leading into the immediate jam that this song offers from start to finish. I just hope all that rain didn't ruin a perfectly good keyboard.  :)

It's the third and final contribution from Eric Clapton to our countdown, thus, my favorite Clapton song.
