Layla - Derek and the Dominos

Released in 1970, Layla is one of the most known and loved rock songs of all time. Originally a ballad composed by Clapton about his unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, wife of his friend George Harrison, with an added piano coda by Jim Gordon, Duane Allman signed on to the project, turning the ballad into the riff-driven rocker that it is today. It was released on the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," Derek and the Dominos' sole album, although an unplugged version performed by just Clapton was released on "Unplugged" twenty years later.

This honestly can be considered the best song of all time. Amazing guitars and riffs, great beat. Perfect lyrics that we all can feel, Great piano work mixed in that is just as amazing as the guitar. This song always gets better every time you hear it

So this song exists because Clapton had the balls to write down how he felt about his buddy's wife? What a stud.

I can never figure out whether I love the guitars better or the piano section better... I'll just have to keep on listening...
